In this part, we'll continue compositing our 3D renders for shots 3 and 4 in After Effects, and add some cool 2D elements to give our fake Canon lens commercial a nice finished look.

Topics include working with masks and blending modes, fine-tuning specular, ambient occlusion and reflections, and creating depth of field using Zdepth. You'll also learn how to add particles, flares and animated text to give the final shots a professional look.
