Written by senior compositor, technical director, and master trainer Steve Wright, this book condenses years of production experience into an easy-to-read and highly informative guide suitable for both working and aspiring visual effects artists. This updated edition of Digital Compositing for Film and Video addresses the problems and difficult choices that professional compositors face daily with an elegant blend of theory, practical production techniques, and workflows. It is written to be software-agnostic, so it applies to any brand of software. It features many step-by-step workflows, powerful new keying techniques, and updates on the latest tech in the visual effects industry with all-new content on AI for VFX, Universal Scene Description (USD), Virtual Production, and Cryptomattes. A companion website offers images from the examples discussed in the book allowing readers to experiment with the material first-hand. This edition also adds NUKE workflows to the companion website for the first time.
