Perfect Camera Tracking

Camera tracking can be tricky but no more. I teach a custom way to do it in Blender that has worked for every type of VFX shot I've done in the industry thus far.

Lighting and Reflections

Many teachers always skip over things like adding in reflections into a scene. Personally I feel like Lighting and Reflections are the most important part of the CGI process to match to the footage.

Asset Manipulation and Animation

I'll share my secret tips I've learned throughout my career to work with tough assets. There are many things we can do with 3D assets that enhance the shot and take it to the next level.

About the course

We will be covering 1 Full Visual effects shot going over every single detail of the entire process. For this course, I wanted to take our time in learning the concepts and explaining everything in detail so that we can apply these concepts to your own work instead of just blindly following along. This is based on my own workflow I use in the industry so I’ll be going over some things to watch out for as well as how you can get started in your career. Of course all of the assets and footage I use will be provided for you to follow along.

Jacob Zirkle

Hi everyone! I'm trilled to be your instructor for this course. I've lead many VFX projects for brands such as Nvidia, LoReal, and Hulu. In my free time, I love teaching VFX on youtube and other forms to help the next generation of VFX Artists. When I was learning the art of VFX, there weren't many resources piled together to learn the different aspects of VFX. Because of this, it took me way longer to learn and so now I want to speed up the process for you all. I hope you learn a lot from this course and can make VFX and life-long career!
