This is an internationally recognized education for those who want in-depth expertise in compositing and planning/implementation of VFX recordings.

Among other things, you will learn about:

This education has three tracks that make up the basic structure of the study:

The Foundations track

Here you learn basic techniques in:

• Light and composition
• Photograph

• Visual communication
• Colour theory

The VFX track

Here it is the technical skills within VFX and 3D that we work with. You will learn to use all the tools you need to become good at:

• Keying
• Rotoscoping
• Color matching
• Tracking

You will work with 3D modelling, lighting and shading, as well as gain an understanding of the entire onset VFX process. Later in the Compositing track, you will learn advanced techniques such as 3D comp and Deep Compositing.

The Production track

The production track starts as early as the first semester of the study, where you get to take part in a production right from the script to the finished picture. You will go through pre-production where we look at storyboards and do VFX breakdowns. After filming, you complete the sequence together with the whole class in the post-work.
