VFX has become an integral part of the production process for film, television and advertising. On this course you’ll explore the VFX industry for moving image products while developing the skills required of a VFX artist across a range of disciplines.
This degree explores the role of VFX and post-production in film and television and will enable you to develop the skills required for the creation of a wide range of dynamic and creative photo real content.
You’ll have the opportunity to explore the different techniques and processes used by industry artists and will develop a diverse portfolio of VFX work across 2D and 3D disciplines. You’ll also develop the skills to design and implement workflows and pipelines for your own larger productions and more complex sequences.
Alongside this, you’ll engage in a number of work-based opportunities and enrichment trips designed to further develop your understanding of both the industry’s expectations of graduate artists and how to improve your own employability in respects to your showreel and skill set.
By the end of the course you’ll have developed a strong portfolio of work tailored to your career aspirations and will have trained in the use of a wide variety of industry-standard software, such as Nuke, Mari and ZBrush preparing you to enter the industry in a number of specialist and generalist roles.
