About
This course focuses on helping students to develop ideas sometimes as 2D artwork concepts, complemented by accurate 3D digital modelling, coupled with green screen/compositing techniques. Design methodology, concept origination, speculative design, visualisation skills, life drawing, physical sketch and facsimile modelling provide traditional design skills.
Students will also enjoy input from a number of practicing industry professionals who are currently working on feature films and from UK companies such as Aardman Animation.

This program is designed to provide students with:
- Knowledge and skills to create conceptual artwork and digital assets for the film, gaming, and visual effects (VFX) industries as part of a creative and dynamic process.
- The ability to develop organizational and communication skills essential for idea exchange, teamwork, and understanding production pipelines in the VFX industry.
