Prep

This course is the blueprint for your career pathway, where you will learn from the basic up to the advanced level of prep techniques. It is a step-by-step guide to enhance your skills. You will learn how to remove unwanted dust, scratches, cranes, wires, and crew members from a scene then recreate the scene’s characters and backgrounds by using the appropriate prep techniques that make the scene more realistic. At the end of this course, you will learn how to play with the pixels to get the finest quality and create an illusion for the audience by remoulding the scene.
