I completely disagree with these recent negative comments. The adult in the pool is for a compositing lesson on how size can be drastically manipulated. The video is about the process, not the concepts chosen for the shots. The lengthy shoots and their lengthy setups are all ENTIRELY pertinent to Compositing! It's Compositing 101 and at least half of the compositing work of the type of compositing he is doing, is done in the photo shoots, camera, lighting and sets. The title is PERFECT, it's just some peoples perceptions that are not "getting it". Or more likely they are more accustomed to doing compositing with a lot of stock images, but this is about creating an image with a story using all of your own shots, equipment, studio, set, props, lighting, models, assistants, etc, and matching everything professionally and accurately for a very photo-realistic fantasy shot.

I'm a huge member of the Phamily (Phlearn family). Before I discovered Phlearn, I was notat all confident with Photoshop. But now I'm able to do a lot I wasn't. And this course has made me want to try compositing while having the confidence to know I can do it. Aaron not only shows you what he is doing, but explains why he is doing it. And that is how I learn the most.
