Picking CG Spectrum has been the best decision I have ever made.
My 1-on-1 compositing mentor was fantastic and I could not have asked for anything more so in tune with the VFX Industry. I have learned so much.
I hadn't even finished the course and I was offered a job.
My understanding of NUKE Compositing was minimal when I started with CG Spectrum. With the help of the mentors, I managed to build my skills and get my foot in the door at a major VFX studio.
Along with learning Nuke, I learnt a lot about the industry.
I studied VFX Nuke Compositing in CG Spectrum. I really enjoyed it and got very good experience in Nuke. The syllabus and materials are excellent and give a strong foundation in Nuke. They have very professional instructors whose work is prominent in big blockbuster movies.
