ANIM 365 Computer Animation: Visual Effects

This course introduces the advanced Computer Animation Concentration student to the visual effects process of integrating computer-generated elements with live action footage. Early assignments integrate pre-existing computer generated elements with live action content. Subsequent assignments introduce advanced texture-mapping, rendering and camera tracking techniques. The course concludes with the development of a solo visual effects sequence that combines idea generation, production strategy and advanced CG rendered objects, particles, effects and camera. Screening of film examples and a presentation assignment about the visual effects industry will underscore the aesthetic impact of CG elements in a live action film.
