I had the pleasure to be invited to give a masters class on Nuke for Industry Giants in 2014. I used this opportunity to expound on a couple of topics that weren’t so sexy, but so important to compositing on a day-to-day basis, merging and masking. Most artists have never used most of the features on either toolset, and in this demo I go over some best practices as well as dispelling alternative methods I’ve seen in the wild.

Here is my Nuke presentation as presented at the Industry Giants animation conference in Dallas, TX Sept 6th 2014. I’d like to thank Industry Giants, A Bunch of Short Guys, The Molecule, and the Foundry for helping put all the pieces together to get me out there.
