Technology Works Together With Storytelling

Visual effects become powerful when technology works together with storytelling. A single VFX shot can combine live-action footage, digital design, 3D elements, camera tracking, compositing, lighting and visual effects to create something that would be difficult or impossible to capture traditionally.

VFX PLUS helps students understand how these different techniques connect within a production workflow. For students exploring 3D animation and visual effects courses, this program provides an opportunity to understand the VFX side of digital production while developing skills that can complement animation and filmmaking.
