Smoke is an Autodesk finishing system that has recently been released for the Apple operating system. It is a very deep and versatile system that is especially powerful in supervised room sessions as it is able to solve almost any client demand, at that very moment, without having to switch applications. Smoke is thought to be designed to work from an assembly made in another system, but in reality it is an excellent editor, tremendously interactive and more than capable of making a project from scratch. In this course we will go over Smoke, making short visits to all its modules and capabilities and emphasizing its color correction tools.
TEACHER: Jaime Climent. Colorist and visual compositor in the post-production company “Gigantes y Molinos”, where he has colorized two feature films (The Simmetry of Love and Impavido), several music videos and commercials. He has also worked in advertising as a visual composer and post-production coordinator for brands such as Garnier, Nivea, Adolfo Domínguez, Microsoft and EA. He finished the Goya award winning documentary short film “Heroes, no wings are needed to fly”. You can see his latest works here.
