NK303 Review

“This course is well above the expectations that I had, I am very happy, Alex is not only talented but he knows how to express himself and communicate ideas, concepts and the class in general, he has a lot of experience and makes you feel more confident. I bought 3 courses and will definitely go for more, you are a genius. Thank you very much Alex!”

NK202 Review

“I'd been watching Nuke tutorials for like 6 months, and I was really confused about terms like "camera projection", "cards"... Because they didn't take the time to explain those concepts. This course has helped me understand those technical concepts and see more clearly how Nuke works, how to use each node as well as different techniques that I'm now ready to use on my own projects. If you want to get into Nuke and 3D Compositing, but you don't know where to start, this is by far the best course for you.”

-Juan G.

NK303 Review

“One of the best and most comprehensive courses for learning Nuke. I've been in After Effects and Fusion for many years and I'm trying to transition to Nuke. This course really helped with transferring concepts I have learned in other compositing softwares to nuke. Highly recommend this course and any of this teachers other ones.

“Learnt so much more in this tutorial series, great content and a lot of tips and tricks which I did not know of before! The 3d series even though complex, the instructor teaches it in a very effective manner!”

NK303 Review

“NK303 is now one of my favorite Nuke courses so far. The quality of the content is freaking outstanding and puts to shame other overpriced courses found on, for example, Kickstarter and other platforms. There are a lot of Nuke tutorials found on Youtube, and a lot of them are taught by people without real world experience - teaching incorrect workflows. This course teaches correct workflows - it's a bargain. I'm looking forward to NK404!”

-Dave

NK404 Review

“I want to say that Alex is truly a highly skilled compositor. As someone who has multiple years in the VFX industry, I can say that I still learn multiple techniques that I haven't previously known. Alex has a good blend of not just teaching the controls of the software, but the art and reasoning behind his approach. Looking forward to more future courses.”
