compositing techniques

Compositing techniques involve combining multiple visual elements—such as live footage, computer-generated images, or backgrounds—into a seamless final image or video. Think of it as layering different images and adjusting them so they appear as one scene. This process often uses masks and color matching to remove backgrounds (like green screens) or integrate special effects, making the scene look realistic or fantastical. Compositing ensures all parts fit together perfectly in perspective, lighting, and color, enabling filmmakers and designers to create complex visuals without physical constraints. It’s a key tool in modern video and film production for storytelling and visual enhancement.
