Hasta La Motion!

Hi guy,

I’m looking for suggestions on how to remove water spots from the lens. I was thinking about using “inpaint” but that’s shady at best. Suggestions?

Hi guys!

I would like to ask for your opinions.
I am not professional compositor, but know and use Nuke for some years.
So there will be a trainer course for Nuke. I am interested, but I don’t know that if it is worth to start it. If I finish this course I could do training in my spare time, 1 or 2 days a week. I live in Uk, London.

Is there a need for such trainers? If somebody is not trained as compositor, I cannot teach them compositing, because maybe they will need man who knows it better. If they are compositors, but need knowledge about Nuke, why would they pay for this training, they surely know some package (Fusion, AE, Shake, etc), so they need just some extra knowledge to change to Nuke. Not really complicate to change to Nuke (my opinion).

Is it worth to invest money for this training? I like to train (and earn some extra money for my other projects), but will I get chance to use this?

Thanks in advance!

Best wishes!
