About the Program
Students in the visual effects concentration are seeking a specialization in the artistic, technical, and narrative production of digital, visual effects for live action footage.
The Communication Arts courses will focus on 2D and 3D software, digital filming, compositing, motion-capture, and applicable post-production workflows.
The approved Cinema course will focus on the mechanics of screenwriting to serve as a foundation for interpreting narrative storytelling into a visual effects storyboard.
The program has mandatory technology requirements for all students. The computer and accessory specifics can be found here, under: Second Year Students – Communication Arts.
