For example, did you know that NTSC does not run at exactly 29.97 frames per second? Etc. IT DOES NOT DEAL WITH: the ins and outs of filmlook procedures, or how to use After Effects for advanced practical cinema effects like bluescreen (keying) work, rotoscoping out wires and such, or dealing with After Effects when working with compositions… Read more
