Tutor: Agata Nawrocka

Do you watch tutorials from Afterki more often than Netflix, and are much more interested in commercials on t.v.? In your free time you love watching VFX Breakdown, and while standing in traffic you dream of improving your skills and entering the pro world of Nuke nodes?

If yes, then!

This course is totally for you.

nawROCKa will prepare you for a Junior/Middle level Motion Designer/Compositing Artist position.

It will sell you patents for smooth work, firefighting and easy ease on graph noda. The knowledge you’ll absorb will give you a calm, confident start and a high probability of reading an email with the title “Client accepted” in the very first week of working in advertising.

Well, are we changing the trajectory of your career path?

May the roto, trackies, keys and cleanups be with you!

• 3 words from nawROCKa:As VFX artists, we have a real contribution to the viewer’s experience of the film. Our work affects the emotion and perception of the image, and is often invisible. Everyday is a craft oscillating between “how long will it take you” and “we have approval for this”. However, we never forget why we love conjuring images so much. And that magic that makes things disappear, transform, enhance or create a “wow” effect will be the story of nawROCKa.
