VFX & Compositing Program

Learn to integrate CG into live action and deliver polished visual effects for film, ads, and digital media.

Program Overview

Train in industry VFX workflows — from on-set considerations to final composite. You will learn how professionals layer CG, cleanup footage, and deliver shots that hold up on the big screen.

Across 15 months, you build a compositor's mindset: reading plates, matching light and color, and delivering shots that supervisors would approve in a real facility.

Program Highlights

  • Shot-based learning on real footage plates and CG elements
  • Nuke-centric compositing workflow used in film and advertising
  • Rotoscopy, paint, and cleanup with production-style deadlines
  • Matchmoving and camera tracking for believable CG integration
  • Color matching, multi-pass compositing, and final delivery standards
  • Demo reel focused on integration quality — not just FX spectacle

Why Pixlance is Different for VFX

We teach compositing and VFX the way facilities deliver shots — not as disconnected effects tutorials.

Real Plate, Real Shots

You composite on actual footage — learning to match grain, color, and lens characteristics like a working compositor.

Supervisor-Style Reviews

Mentors give shot notes the way a comp supervisor would — edge integration, color, and realism before you move on.

Node-Based Mastery

Deep Nuke training with professional node trees — not one-click presets — so you understand every layer of your comp.

Delivery Standards

Learn versioning, naming conventions, and delivery specs — the professional habits studios expect from day one.
