COURSE DESCRIPTION
Students are exposed to the primary concepts of successful visual effects production lighting. Class projects include basic videography, green-screen shoots, compositing, match-lighting, basic dynamics and an introduction to the production pipeline used in professional film and television work.
COURSE GOAL
Students will gain a thorough understanding of feature visual effects through the exploration of the basic set photography and image post-processing. More than teaching just the technology of the industry, the class aims to provide students with a comprehensive grasp of the day to day operations in the visual effects field.
