You not only showcased the stunning visual effects but also shared valuable insights into what techniques worked effectively and which ones fell short, along with the reasons behind those outcomes

I wish I could have more mentorships with you!

Even though our sessions were limited in number, I truly cherished every session we spent together. One of my fondest memories is from one of our early meetings, where you captivated us with a variety of VFX examples from iconic movies. You not only showcased the stunning visual effects but also shared valuable insights into what techniques worked effectively and which ones fell short, along with the reasons behind those outcomes. It was a thrilling experience to learn from your expertise and passion for the craft.

I genuinely hope that future students at Alpha have the chance to benefit from your knowledge and guidance in the same way I did.

Wishing you the very best of luck in Australia!

Thank you once again, Q!

I really liked your approach of teaching in which you’d work on a shot in real time while you say your thought process

April 2024

Dear Q,

My way of merge masking is still the superior version

I really liked your approach of teaching in which you’d work on a shot in real time while you say your thought process (especially the keying one). It’s great because it showed me more efficient ways of doing shots like keying.

Your eye for detail is exquisite and also the art of problem solving is a certified banger of a class, it really shifted my mindset for the rest of the program and because of that I feel like I was able to progress faster thanks to you.

I hope for the best in your future endeavors!

It never ceases to amaze me how fast you thwip along a Nuke script at Gojo-level speed as you create a first pass

April 2024

Hey Q!

Thanks for your help with carrying the ACE students to the finish line! Your feedback often pointed out things in my shots that I haven’t noticed before and that helped me push my shots further along. The clear way you explained yourself made it easier for me to understand what I needed to do in revisions.

It never ceases to amaze me how fast you thwip along a Nuke script at Gojo-level speed as you create a first pass. I definitely want to reach that level of efficiency one day as well!

we all have to thank you for literally shaping what people can expect from the students of Alpha Chromatica!

April 2024

Thanks, Q, for being a part of Alpha Chromatica. You started off as the Marketing Guy when we first met, and then you became my student, and now you are the compositor you were always meant to be. You probably did the most screenings of any mentor, so we all have to thank you for literally shaping what people can expect from the students of Alpha Chromatica! And for your honesty in never letting any student get away with a shoddy elements.

It is a fortune to have you as a mentor who sincerely cares and empathizes with his students

April 2024

Hey Q!

Your style of teaching is like a teacher with so many years of experience! I was always thrilled that you can make each class so engaging and informative. Your honesty and blunt way of pointing out things in my shots benefited me the most!

It is a fortune to have you as a mentor who sincerely cares and empathizes with his students. You do care about your students’ success. The words and suggestions you gave about my current ways of compositing and how I should articulate my work in the studio as an artist in our last class will be carried along my career.

Thanks for being an amazing mentor!

Thank you Q!

I love how you demonstrated your many tricks on obtaining speed and efficiency when creating your scripts. It is certainly something to try to emulate in the future as our skills start to increase. I also appreciate the eye training in seeing details that I would normally miss and found that I am now starting to see the minutiae of errors I never saw before when critically looking at my work. Thanks again for all the great feedback and information!
