This was easily one of the best tutorials i have ever seen on compositing. It was actually providing information in a way that was entertaining but more importantly, it was actually educational. Too many of these Youtube videos that are aiming at promoting their sh*t to sell and don't care if you learn or not. You my friend felt like a university prof that actually wanted his students to learn something new.

[rgkaczynski]

This is the most in-depth guide about compositing ever! Especially about perspective; I usually just match them by eye. Didn’t know there was an accurate way to do it.

[BCS_Official]

I love this GUY... i love and love and love this guy. Never disappointed and have learned what ill say costed me much in editing school which i even didnt get it... wow...

[BenniundKia]

The Tutorials get better and better. Probably tue best VFX Chanel on youtube. Keep on tutorialing 🤘

[stefanieandersen]

This is hands down the best compositing tutorial I've ever seen! It's so hard to find detailed information about compositing, especially color correction and perspective. Thanks so much for the helpful tips. I'd love to see a step-by-step breakdown of how you composited the alien abduction scene, it would be awesome to understand how you applied the compositing concepts to all of the different elements and footage.

Danke Flo, your humour is delightful, and your motion compositing tips are unique on YouTube.

This is a really great video for young artists that are just starting out with VFX.

This is outstanding.

I haven't used AE in 10 years but remembered the basics.

This is perfect for someone that knows how AE works but needs help with pulling it together.

This has answered all my questions.
