- In this movie, we're going to discuss…what exactly the compositing workflow is.…If you ask me,…the compositing workflow is all about making decisions.…Decisions based on the following questions.…Now these are just some questions,…by no means are they all the questions…that's going to be on a per project,…sometimes even per shot basis.…But overall, here are the questions…that I typically ask myself when I'm working on a project.…How much flexibility am I going to need…later in the process?…And the follow up question to that is usually,…well, why do I need that flexibility?…If I'm working with a client,…what is their review process going to be?…That could greatly affect how much flexibility I need later.…

Also, how much render time do I have…versus how much compositing time?…Compositing time is usually a lot faster…and you can make certain changes,…almost instantaneously, inside of the compositing package…as opposed to going back into 3D…and rendering those changes.…How much of my look development can I move into compositing?…
