Hello and welcome to compositing in Nuke with Rubble Way . My name is Nick Chamberlain, and I'll be your instructor for this class. I've been working in the V effects industry for the past 5.5 years, and I'm currently working as a compositing supervisor and occasionally as a Houdini Dynamics artist. I mostly work on television shows that require fast and flexible work flows that will still get you a great looking image. And we'll be applying those concepts in these seven shots in front of us here as we complete them from start to finish. In this workshop, the shots will exhibit many of the common problems you run across while you're compositing. These aren't your easy one click key tutorial shots thes exhibit very common real world problems. There are two main goals of this course. The first is pretty obvious. We're gonna learn how to use Nuke. It's the industry standard compositing software, and it's excellent at handling both creatively and technically challenging shots. We're gonna be learning new from the ground up, so no prior knowledge of nuke is required at the start of this class. But knowing basic

the effects terminology will certainly be helpful. The second goal is, in my opinion, much more important , and that's learning how to think like a composite . ER will be going over fundamental compositing theory throughout the 1st 4 weeks that could be followed to make any shot look more realistic. Nukus An amazing program . But if we only know what the buttons are , instead of why we're using them, we're gonna run into issues very quickly. Once we have these fundamentals down in the last four weeks, we're gonna move on to compositing fully CG shots that involve a lot of effects dynamics elements. These shots will exhibit much more complicated issues in our compositing approach, and execution will be sure to build these calms in the most flexible way possible in order to get a great looking image quickly. I'm very excited to get started , and I hope you'll be able to walk away from this workshop with a firm grasp of nuke and understand how to think like a composite. Er, thank you very much for listening and I'll catch you
