Hey, I'm Daniel Kaczkowski (kaz-COW-ski).

I've been a Visual Effects Artist for over 10 years, and for the past half decade I've been a Senior/Lead Compositor and Nuke Trainer in the VFX industry.

Throughout my career, I've completed 2,000+ VFX shots across 150+ projects.

Supervising/Leading over 30.

From music videos, short films, documentaries, and commercials, to high-end feature films. From the biggest names in music to the biggest IMAX blockbusters in theaters.

You can see a list of some of the projects I've worked on below.

My goal with this site is to teach you every aspect of VFX Compositing from the ground up. From keying, colorspace, & tracking to vectors, CG comp, and spatial frequencies - not just how to make stuff look pretty - though I cover that too. Understanding these fundamentals is crucial whether you want to to make cool VFX on your own or get a job in the industry.

All of the knowledge that I teach you can be applied in any VFX software.

While I started in After Effects and Maya, I will be using Nuke & Houdini throughout the courses as they are the industry standard for high-end VFX work (and my favorite).
