It's time to rethink visual effects! This one-hour class with 11-time Vimeo Staff Pick film director Paul Trillo takes you inside his process for using green screens in unique and artistic ways.

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:

coming up with a creative green screen concept
lighting and shooting your green screen scene
editing your footage in After Effects to remove the green
replacing the green with a variety of wacky things
creating an "infinite looping mirror" effect

As a bonus, Paul even teaches motion tracking, so that the footage inside your picture frame moves along with the rest of the scene.
