Allow 10-12 hrs for this module

This learning module will get you comfortable and familiar with the Fusion page in DaVinci Resolve.  It's recommended that you complete the Road Movie module before doing this Heads-up module, since the Road Movie module is designed to get you familiar with some of Resolve's basics.

This starts with a photograph of an empty Midland street, and by the time you're done, you'll have combined several other graphical elements together with special effects and animations to create a zombie scene, complete with burnt out cars, neon signs, and fire bins... and ZOMBIES!
