Hi guys,
I am a video editor, graduated in an Animation Art program, recently I want to switch my career and try to become a compositor.
My friend told me to first apply for Roto/Paint artist then work my way up to become a compositor, however, I am struggling with building my demo reel, coz I don’t have much oiriginal green screen footage, or footage for wire removal and stuff.
May I have some advice on how to start?
Thank you
Go shoot some stuff yourself, with your phone or borrow a DSLR, look around for unpaid/low paid work on indy or student films, apply for internships.
The Foundry has footage for their Nuke tutorials on their website, so do a lot of compositing and motion graphic sites like videocopilot.net
And try google, vimeo or youtube for free greenscreen footage, there’s plenty of those

Wow, thanks!! that link is really helpful, I will try working with those greenscreen footage.
I have began to watch all the nuke tutorial on their website too, but sometimes I have trouble understanding how some node network are being construction.
