Modern compositing pipelines require speed, flexibility and reusability. Python scripting in Nuke can help you achieve all three. In this course, Daniel Mark Miller shares his production-proven approach to building robust, user-friendly templates that streamline common CG compositing tasks directly within the node graph.
You’ll learn how to create dynamic tools and automate workflows using Python, while reinforcing core concepts around compositing math, expression-based tricks, and even a little regex (don't be scared). Along the way, Daniel focuses on writing clean, maintainable code that’s easy to debug, document, and improve.
Daniel brings over 15 years of industry experience to this training, with credits spanning film, television, and advertising. He is currently a Compositing Supervisor at Lola Post. An early fxphd postgrad, Daniel has worked at studios like One of Us, Framestore, Molinare, and The Mill, with recent projects including Matrix Resurrections, The Crown, Pinocchio, Walking with Dinosaurs 2025, and high-end work for Sony, Netflix, Disney, Apple TV, the BBC, and director Alex Garland.
