Description

This course will introduce students to the fundamentals of working with visual effects for live-action production. This class will consist of a series of workshops that introduce students to both small and large concepts and workflows used in visual effects, culminating in a sequential narrative utilizing skills acquired during the course. Students will learn compositing techniques such as green-screen, rotoscoping, and matchmoving, as well as the fundamentals of 3D asset creation, including modeling, texturing, lighting, and rendering. Practical hands-on training with the Adobe Creative Cloud applications for use in visual effects and compositing, and how to integrate 3D elements from Cinema 4D into their live action footage, will be core elements of this course.
