VFX Workshop: Green Screen Studio Shooting and Compositing
Planning, Shooting, Postproduction

In this workshop we will produce short VFX shots, retracing workflows and techniques from preproduction to delivery. After getting to know the basic probciples of a VFX work pipeline, we will have an introductory look at the Compositing software Nuke. We will continue and do some hands-on training with camera and lighting equipment. After the shoot we will use the live action green screen footage for a basic postproduction in Nuke, including keying, camera tracking, rotoscoping and the insertion of backplates and 3D content.
This is a beginner's course but we can also think of more challenging exercises together.
