Great course. The wonderful thing about listening to a professional, is the professional tips you get to hear. Box blur at an iteration of 1, similar effect to Camera Lens Blur, but lot less CPU intensive, and at a setting of 3, you have the same effect as using a Gaussian blur. These insights (plus hundreds of others) from a seasoned pro are absolute gold, no matter your level of experience. While this may be somewhat of a challenging course for anyone setting out on their journey into learning about AE and VFX, for anyone with even a rudimentary understanding of the software, with an interest in VFX compositing using AE, this, series of courses - is as good as it gets.

Course details
Creating a moving shot that is made up of disparate elements and looks as though it was taken all at once, with a single camera, is the very core of visual effects compositing. To make the effect look natural, compositors also need a deep understanding of how to match color, light, and phenomena specific to the camera, including grain and depth of field. Matching requires no special knack; for example, you can learn to effectively match color even if you have trouble seeing color accurately. So join Mark Christiansen, as he teaches you how to composite 2D or 3D foreground objects to a background scene with After Effects and seamlessly match light, color, depth of field, and noise, so that every element looks natural.
