Here's another update on our Deep Compositing project. This time, Lincoln Dupree has delivered the first version of the scene, complete with rough geometry, shaders, blocking, animation, and simulations.
We’re at an exciting juncture now. The pieces are in place, and the next step is having another round of discussions with senior compositor and comp extraordinaire, Kate Lin.
Kate will be instrumental in guiding us on the specific passes and holdouts needed for her demos. Her expertise is invaluable, ensuring that the scene not only meets but exceeds its educational purpose.
On top of that, I’m tapping into the insights of one of my FX buddies to explore how we can further enhance this shot. Their perspective will be key as we refine the scene.
Here’s the thing - our goal isn’t to create the most photorealistic scene, nor is this a shot meant for a demo reel. This is a learning exercise, designed to help students tackle the real, everyday challenges of deep compositing. It’s all about giving them the practical experience they need to navigate the common issues they’ll face in the industry.
What makes this project truly impactful is its purpose: to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and the messy, unpredictable reality of production work.
We’re not just teaching students to press buttons; we’re teaching them to problem-solve, adapt, and deliver under real-world conditions.
Stay tuned as we continue to develop this project with Lincoln Dupree at the helm. We’re just getting started, and there’s so much more to come.

P.S. For those of you who’ve tackled deep compositing before, what’s one lesson you wish you’d learned sooner?
