This course builds on the principles learned in HD Digital Filmmaking for VFX, and will expand student learning in camera tracking fundamentals and integration using The Pixel Farm’s PFTrack and The Foundry’s Nuke. Emphasis is placed on match moving fundamentals, hand tracking and masking, distortion workflow, zoom shot, object tracking, color grading, and finishing. Classes include a mixture of weekly tracking demonstrations, discussions of production workflows, and complex exercises, as well as portfolio critiques and industry tips. Students will explore various styles of tracking through homework assignments and work toward polished conceptual projects.
