What is Compositing?

All the studios are running their own Production and Post Production pipelines, as per the project. One thing is common in all workflows – the last part is Compositing / Finishing.

As the name suggests, Compositing means to combine all shooting plates (2D source footages), alpha mattes, tracking camera data, 3D render passes, matte paintings, VFX stock footages and any other elements to finish the shot. The mail goal is to blend all things together in a manner that it looks like that all the elements are shot at a single point of time, in a same lighting condition and with a same camera. In technical terms, it is also 2D Compositing. As you have seen, it is the most crucial stage of entire post production pipeline.
