About the Program

This program covers the stages of producing a film with visual effects, from pre-production through post-production, rendering, and compositing, in both the film and advertising industries. You will learn about the key departments, assets and shots, and the tools and workflows used in the industry.

You will also learn to create and read a project schedule using a waterfall approach, sequencing departments and estimated days. And you will analyze case studies of real films and projects to see how visual effects are managed and delivered in high-end productions.

Classes combine theoretical sessions, guided practical classes (to get you familiar with work processes and the research needed to develop a production plan), and workshop classes focused on developing a personalized plan.
