Hi, I’m Chris Zwar, an Adobe After Effects specialist with nearly three decades of professional experience. I work on TVCs, films & TV series, corporate & promotional videos, and large-scale projection work. I excel with advanced After Effects techniques including stereoscopic 3D, expressions and scripting, chromakey, rotoscoping, 3D camera tracking, colour grading, and I have led opening titles for major projects. Most of the current work I do is for film and TV series, including screen replacements, tracking and rotoscoping for cleanup, and compositing set expansions & sky replacements. I also routinely composite multi-pass cg elements for advertising. I regularly work using ACES color management at 4K resolution. I actively contribute to online After Effects communities, publish tutorials for ProVideo Coalition, and lecture on motion graphics and title design (AGDA in Sydney and RMIT in Melbourne). I am a certified Adobe Community Expert and enjoy sharing knowledge with peers and clients alike.
