VFX – An Introduction

Digital effects are everywhere, from low-budget independent movies and online digital content, to commercials, television programmes, computer games and Hollywood blockbusters. It’s a fast moving and fast growing industry and a lucrative input to the UK economy.

This new introductory course will take you on an introductory roller-coaster ride through the VFX world, its history and origins, its various applications, the effect on the world around us, and what the future holds for this ever-evolving subject.

You will learn by having hands-on experience as well, developing a variety of practical and creative skills involved in the planning, budgeting, storyboarding and pre-visualisation through filming, CGI creation, VFX creation and finally post production and delivery.
