6.” Based in London with close industry ties this course offers a generalist CGI grounding, while giving you the crucial ability to specialise in a particular area -
something the industry increasingly requires. With its strong CGI focus, the course emphasises the importance of a solid grounding in art and design principles while
teaching you to model, rig, animate and light in 3D. Visual effects (VFX) are the processes whereby sequences for movies, commercials, television, games and other
new media are created through digital techniques - live action is enhanced, augmented or replaced altogether. The use of VFX can save money and avoid
dangerous or difficult live action filming but most of all it enables the impossible to happen. With VFX, imagination is the only limit.”
This course although it doesn’t directly link to stage production it will give good skills in the visuals department and this can provide useful with projections and
SFX in the live performance. The course gives the student theoretical, practical, and technical knowledge of visual effects.
