The VFX course is designed to equip highly creative and driven computer graphics professionals with the knowledge and skills to create photorealistic computer graphics and integrate them seamlessly with their own filmed live action footage. This will range from set extensions through CG-characters or vehicles to body part replacements and simulations.
Participants will work within the industry standards for software and camera equipment. All teachers will be recognized visiting industry experts.
Each week of the training activity will consist of artistic and technical lectures, film and game analysis, numerous and intense assignments, group critiques, evaluations, one on one critiques, tutoring and production simulation.
At the end of the course, participants will have the opportunity to develop their show reels under the supervision of their guest teacher, and they will then be ready to start to work immediately as VFX generalists for film or animation studios.
