FCM 6413 - Animation Post Production (3)

This is a beginner/intermediate grad level class in post-production techniques for animation. Compositing is the art of combining several elements of a Visual Effect in one frame. It combines the efforts of several artists to make things look as if it was all shot at the same time, under the same lights, with the same camera. This class introduces the fundamental techniques of digital compositing, using Adobe After Effects. Students will learn how to assemble their 3D renders, 2D cells, matte paintings and digital video to create polished, professional-caliber animated shots. Students will finish with a fundamental understanding of how to combine different pieces of animation into finished watchable storytelling.
