Continuing from our previous discussion, here’s another insightful excerpt from my interview with Q Park, conducted before he became a talented compositor credited on this year's summer blockbuster, Deadpool and Wolverine.

In this episode, we dive into a fascinating discussion about photorealism in compositing. Q Park posed an excellent question: how do you teach someone to create something that looks truly photoreal?

Our conversation lead to me talking about my fundamental philosophy on creating photoreal images. It's nothing special, just the most logical and fundamental way to do things: through observation and replication.

Our discussion touched on how essential it is to really see and then replicate what you observe in the real world. These principles are the bedrock of my teaching approach at Alpha Chromatica Education (ACE).

Check out the video to hear more about these insights.

P.S. What’s one technique you’ve found most helpful in achieving photorealism in your work?
