Description

Students will learn how to shoot footage to be used in visual effects productions with hands-on practical examples. In addition to learning the aspects of visual effects plate photography, students will learn how to capture and record all the various pieces of data that need to go into the visual effects production process including capturing lighting data, shooting green screens, surveying set layouts and recording important camera data. Students will directly use this data in their production work in the program, following their own data through the production process.

Augmenting reality is the cornerstone of visual effects, and to do so a visual effects artist must first be able to replicate the movement and look of a real camera or moving object. In this course, students will learn the important techniques used in camera and object matching common in the visual effects industry. Students will learn how tracking plays an important part in the visual effects process and how to properly format tracking data to be usable in visual effects work, in addition to focusing on the core skills that make camera and object tracking a common entry point into the visual effects industry for students.
