This course trains you in two of the most important aspects of VFX: compositing and editing. VFX compositors are responsible for creating photorealistic outputs by seamlessly integrating live action footage with computer graphics, 2D, 3D & special effects. Video editing requires visual aesthetic skills, a sense of pacing to draw out the emotion of the story, and attention to detail. To be a VFX compositor or a video editor, you would need to understand the elements of composition, lighting & shadow, and colour. Arena’s comprehensive VFX Compositing and Editing course covers compositing and editing, end-to-end.
