Digital compositing is the seamless integration of multiple elementselements that may come from vastly different sources. A successful composite may rely on many techniques, such as keying/matting, color correcting, rotoscoping, and painting. At the end of the day, it's not what you did, but how the effect looks. Shake provides you with extensive tools to combine your elements into a seamless visual effect.

In this lesson you will composite four clips to create this scene.
