Our courses expose students to the methodologies bywhich high-quality effects can be digitally achieved. Throughdiscussions and lectures, the tools will be taught in context ofhow they are actually used within a production environment. Studentsare guided in focusing their skills on complexity, problem solving,design and motion. The first eight weeks are devoted to instruction andhomework, as students proceed with the initial set-up phases oftheir own personal projects. We develop students’ skills inthe creation of photoreal product renderings for broadcast, film, andprint. We approach and solve various creative issues found in everydayproduction.
