Why study here
Why take the vfx course in Calicut at Rootmedia
- 01
Shot on our own green screen
The HiLITE floor has an in-house shoot studio with strobes and softboxes, so you key and track footage shot for the exercise instead of downloaded stock plates.
- 02
Invisible effects that get paid
Most VFX work in Kerala ads and music videos is cleanup, screen replacements and sky fixes rather than creatures. The syllabus follows that work.
- 03
After Effects and Fusion
Layer-based comp in After Effects, then node-based comp in DaVinci Fusion for the shots AE fights, so you are useful in either pipeline.

About this vfx course
A video-effects course that is not explosions for their own sake. You will key green, track screens, clean plates, match grade a composite, and extend a set just enough that the director does not notice. That is the work that pays on ads and music videos.
We shoot or pull plates, then finish them. Rotoscoping with a deadline. Beauty that does not look waxy. Sky replacements that match the sun. Mentors come from finishing, not from YouTube preset channels.
The track. You leave with before/afters that prove you can save a shot — the skill houses hire when the day did not go to plan.
Who it's for
- Motion designers ready for shot work
- Editors tired of sending every cleanup out
- People aiming at junior comp / finishing roles
What you leave with
- Key, track and composite plates to a broadcast finish
- Cleanup, beauty and paint that survive a 4K pause
- Simple set extension and sky work that matches light
- A VFX breakdown reel with problem → solution shots

DirectionsVFX Course in Calicut: FAQs
Is this a VFX course for films or for ads?
Both use the same skills. The exercises lean towards ad, music-video and YouTube work, the VFX most in demand in Kerala, and the breakdown reel works for either.
Do I need a powerful laptop for the VFX course in Calicut?
Not to start. Workstations are available on the floor for sessions. The team will tell you what spec is worth buying before you spend money.
Is 3D animation included?
The core is 2D compositing. 3D camera tracking and simple 3D elements are covered. For full 3D, ask about the 3D Animation & VFX programme.
Where is the vfx course in Calicut held?
In person at Rootmedia, 4th Floor, World Trade Center, HiLITE Business Park, Kozhikode (Calicut), on the Kozhikode bypass. Kozhikode and Calicut are the same city. Call +91 62385 94886 or open the Maps link on this page for directions.
What is the vfx course fee in Calicut?
Fees depend on the batch and on whether you take the full track or a shorter programme. Rootmedia shares the current fee on call or WhatsApp (+91 62385 94886) rather than printing a number that goes out of date.
Is this a beginner VFX course?
No. It is pitched at intermediate level — you should already be comfortable in After Effects or an editing timeline. If you are starting from zero, the After Effects and motion graphics track comes first.
Do you teach Nuke?
The compositing is taught in After Effects and DaVinci Fusion, using node-based comp for the shots After Effects fights. The thinking transfers to a Nuke-style graph, but Nuke itself is not the tool on the floor.
Where do the plates come from?
We shoot or pull them. The in-house studio is used for green screen, beauty and cleanup plates so you are compositing footage you watched being shot, not a stock download.
What do I leave with?
A VFX breakdown reel structured as problem then solution — before, after, and the one shot that proves you can rescue a day that did not go to plan.
