In this training, Hugo Léveillé will be showing how MELS Studios did the VFX of the movie Race. We'll see various techniques used in Nuke as well as how they did the various crowd duplications for the stadiums shots. All of that, demonstrating with actual footage from the movie (due to rights issues, the footage used will not be available for download with the course).

Hugo Léveillé is currently head of compositing at Mels studios in Montreal. With over 10 years of VFX experiences, he also shares his work time by creating and integrating pipeline tools for Nuke.
