Course 1 of 2The Pilot
The blueprint for layering VFX elements and integrating complex, cinematic shots.
- Seamless integration
- Atmosphere & elements
- Light & color
The Pilot assumes you can already key a greenscreen. This bundle gives you that base with NK505, then puts it to work on cinematic, element-heavy shots.
NK505: pull clean keys, handle hair and spill, fix edges and match grain.
The Pilot: layer atmosphere, fire, smoke and light passes on professional plates.
A different kind of shot for your reel, built on keys that hold up.

Course 2 of 2The full keying, despill and integration process in Nuke, taught at feature-film level.
"A very clear and well-structured course with step-by-step instruction throughout. As an intermediate-to-advanced compositor, I learned reliable, production-ready techniques for integrating live-action plates with CG environments. I'd definitely recommend this course to anyone who wants to strengthen their integration skills."
"How do you guys even come up with some of these techniques? I loved the course, helped me a ton. I feel like I have a better grasp on concepts that seemed out of my league now. Very glad I saved up for the course. I am a Sophomore VFX Student at SCAD, and this has helped me understand Nuke more than two years at school. Very worthy investment for students."
"The NK505 course is excellent, even for a beginner like myself with keying or grading in Nuke. It teaches the fundamentals of compositing with Nuke in a way that other courses never have. Alex repeatedly emphasizes the importance of thinking logically / modular, which makes the NK505 course invaluable to me. If you are looking for a course, I highly recommend NK505."

Alex is a Senior Compositor with experience on numerous feature films. He has worked at top VFX studios worldwide, including Weta Digital, Industrial Light & Magic, Sony Pictures Imageworks, and more.
