What do you learn?
What is VFX or Visual Effects?
By VFX or Visual Effects are known the different techniques by which images are created or manipulated outside the context of live recording. Although they are usually associated with fantasy or science fiction films, they are used in all kinds of films, be they historical, documentaries, comedies or dramas. Currently its use goes beyond the cinema. Industries linked to entertainment such as video games, theme parks, virtual reality and transmedia are some examples. Also its use in architecture and education is increasingly leading, which speaks of a field in total expansion and with a real need for specialists for the local and international market.
VFX or Visual Effects Course
Some of the things you will learn during the journey:
- Apply specialized techniques and tools such as planar tracking, rotoscopy and matchmoving (camera tracking) to integrate actors filmed on a green / blue background (keying) or 3D elements into a real video.
- Correct the color of a shot, achieve a certain aesthetic or match the lighting of two shots filmed at different times
- Solve complicated chroma due to moving images, uneven backgrounds, motionblur, poorly lit sets and reflective elements, among others.
- Integrate video with 3D scenes using mapping and mattepainting techniques.
- Simulate rigid dynamic objects for breakage, demolition and fragmentation. To simulate soft dynamic objects such as fabrics and ropes.
- Simulate all types of fluids: Viscous and gelatinous liquids.
- Generate scenes where explosions with fire, smoke and gases occur.
- Developing stereoscopic content using 2D or 3D material for three-dimensional visualization.
- Integration of 3D elements using VFX techniques, digital animation and visual effects
This training takes into account the evolution of the market and the insertion of students in it. We will discuss the current panorama of the visual effects industry locally and internationally, how to enter the labor market, work modalities, freelance work vs. in house, remote work and budgeting among other key issues related to VFX.
Finally, you will have the necessary tools to develop your demoreel and take the first steps to enter the industry.
