fxphd - AFX230 - Compositing in After Effects - Eagle Flight Project
http://www.fxphd.com/details/583/

This After Effects course, taught by Kirill Pleshakov, focuses on the compositing of a bird filmed on green screen into an aerial shot.
The After Effects compositing process covers the correction of the eagle source footage in order to make it useful for gradual animation of the bird as if it was shot on a drone. Before jumping into After Effects to composite the eagle, Pleshakov breaks down his work done in Nuke and 3ds Max on the background of the shot.

FXPHD – City Environment Compositing in After Effects, Part 2

This compositing-based course, taught by Kirill Pleshakov, combines clean-up and multi-pass 3D compositing. It's a follow up to the City Environment Compositing in After Effects, sharing work from the Russian short film Something for Nothing.

FXPHD – City Environment Compositing in After Effects Part 1

https://www.fxphd.com/details/572/

This course works through a live action compositing shot in After Effects, combining greenscreen footage, digital matte painting files, and other elements. City Environment Compositing in After Effects is taught by Kirill Pleshakov and utilizes a scene from the Russian short film "Something for Nothing" and includes over 5GB of source files. The scene may be used for learning and, with the permission of Kirill (contact information is in the course), used on your reel.

This course, the second of a two part offering taught by Kirill Pleshakov, is focused on compositing the close-up shot of the Truck Explosion, a live action miniature explosion filmed at a scale of 1:13 which is blended with a full scale shot. The original movie edit contains three shots of the truck explosion and this course covers the last one where the environment is completely covered with the fire and destroyed

fxphd - AFX232 - Compositing In After Effects Truck Explosion Part 1

http://www.fxphd.com/details/604/

This course, taught by Kirill Pleshakov, is focused on compositing a live action miniature explosion filmed at a scale of 1:13. The real explosions are filmed with multiple cameras from different angles, as each explosion object is destructed with one take.

What makes a 3D space battle even more spectacular? Compositing in Adobe After Effects. Learn to take the render-pass sequences of the spaceship versus asteroid scene you created in part 1 of this series and recombine them in After Effects. Author Lee Lanier shows how to integrate shading and color in your render passes, animate the flames emitting from the spaceship, and create a particle simulation that makes the asteroid explosion seem more realistic. You'll also learn to replicate glows, lens flares, film grain, and camera motion along the way.
