Shake 4 is the only compositing software with a complete toolset for both single artists and visual effects facilities. With 3D multi-plane compositing, 32-bit Keylight and Primatte keying, cutting edge Optical Flow image processing, Final Cut Pro 5 integration and an open, extensible scripting language, Shake 4 delivers all the tools required for sophisticated film and television visual effects.
Do you watch a movie and wonder how the effects are created? Do you want to learn the visual effects software used by major motion picture studios and high-end post houses? Are you looking for a software solution for video and film postproduction? Shake 101 gives you all that and more.
Course Description
This three-day hands-on course introduces students to the primary feature set and basic interface of Shake. Using visual effects shots from major motion pictures, students will learn the process of integrating computer-generated elements with live action photography using motion tracking and color matching tools, as well as utilizing keying techniques to place blue and green screen shots against background plates. Most importantly, learn to create multi-layer composites using Shake's Node tree organizational structure.
