  • Using only a piece of green card stock, a picture frame, a digital camera, and Adobe After Effects, Paul walks through how to create a “window into another world” through video..
  • Perfect for filmmakers, video editors, aspiring directors, visual effects artists, and anyone looking to learn how green screen works, this class breaks it down into easy steps:.
  • As a bonus, Paul even teaches motion tracking, so that the footage inside your picture frame moves along with the rest of the scene..
