Beginner's Guide to Shooting for VFX | Think Like a Visual Effects Artist

Brandon Dohner teaches you how to think more like a VFX Artist, so if you don't have a VFX supervisor on set, you can make smarter decisions to save you time and money in post production. Brandon covers topics such as locking off the camera (it simplifies more than just tracking the camera), best practices for shooting clean plates, when and where to use tracking markers, and the best way to shoot screen replacements. He'll help you understand types of motion tracking, give you some green screen (or blue screen) tips, explain the easiest ways to pull off set extensions plus more industry tips & tricks to help you pull off those really difficult shots.
