Learn how real movie shots are built — layer by layer — inside Nuke, the software used by every major VFX studio.
Create your first cinematic, studio-quality composite, even if you’ve never used Nuke before.
Taught by a Senior Compositor with credits on Star Wars, Avengers, Spider-Man, and Alien.
Honestly, in his online courses I learned far more than I did in most traditional seminars. If you really intend to get into Nuke — this is it.
Learnt so much more in this tutorial series — great content and a lot of tips and tricks I didn’t know before! Even though the 3D series is complex, the teaching is clear and effective.
I’ve taken other courses, and whenever I have a question or forget something, I come back here. Thanks for all of this!
This course gave me plenty of insight into the process and tips I’d never have thought to use before.
I learned more from this than in any of my university compositing classes — and it was shorter.
This course was above my expectations — focused and practical without getting lost in basics. Perfect fit for working artists.
Alex shows how a compositor thinks. Feedback is precise, supportive, and demanding — I progressed faster than expected.
Be first to get new practice shots, workshop drops, and tools that level up your comp.
Your Complete Path from First Composite to Studio-Level VFX
The Beginner Series is your complete, hands-on training path — four connected Nuke courses in one — designed to take you from your first composite to building studio-level visual effects shots with confidence.
Each course builds on the last, guiding you step-by-step through real projects that mirror how professional compositors work in film studios. You'll learn by creating cinematic shots, not by watching theory — developing real production skills while assembling a portfolio that proves your ability.
