More about this VFX course

This VFX course in Hyderabad is a six-month visual effects programme taught in our Ameerpet classroom. You work the pipeline used on film and ad shots: tracking, keying, roto and CG integration on live-action plates. Notes land on the workstation, shot by shot.

Software is the set for this course — After Effects, Nuke, Mocha, Silhouette, PFTrack and 3DEqualizer — with Maya where a shot needs CG in the plate. You practise planar and camera tracking, green screen, roto, cleanup and colour match. That is the VFX training Ameerpet students need for a junior compositor or generalist reel.

You finish shot breakdowns for a showreel, not a demo of every tool. The batch suits people aiming at film, TV, ads or games in Hyderabad studios, and artists who already model or edit and want compositing. Call admissions to confirm the next start date.
