See how CGI is composited with live action, how set extensions are done, and what a match-move shot is. Following that, you learn each of the key applications of digital compositing, which include bluescreen compositing, bullet-time shots, motion tracking, and rotoscoping. The subsequent chapters dig down into each of the major digital compositing applications, introducing the fundamental concepts, and processes behind them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLearn what is easy and hard, possible and impossible, and what to expect when working on a job that entails digital compositing.
