Advanced Compositing Tracking and Roto Techniques with After Effects (2012) DVD

In this workshop Jeff Foster — video producer, compositor, visual effects artist, and author of "The Green Screen Handbook" — teaches you the advanced tips, tricks, and workflow techniques he’s used over the years to get great video/film composites, even when working with near-impossible footage.
You´ll learn advanced roto-painting techniques for the Wacom tablet and you´ll get up to speed on motion tracking, multipass mattes, multiple keying layers, simulated lighting effects, painting on video background plates, and more. Then you’ll apply what you´ve learned to a series of real-world projects in After Effects.Roto-Painting Techniques with a Wacom Tablet
