Course Description:

'' Visual effects & motion graphics is design in motion. Professional artists in this field combine special effects with computer-based animation and graphics. Then they weave video clips, graphic elements, and sound with live-action footage in creative ways for the most impact. The result is innovative TV commercials, movie trailers, opening film credits, animated network IDs, short promo teasers, and catchy "next-ons" between television shows.

Visual effects & motion graphics takes audiences where no mere camera can go - like the SUV parked impossibly high on a desert mesa, a movie title composed only of smoke and light and that impossible shot that starts with the whole Earth in space and zooms into a close-up in someone’s backyard. These are just some examples of the work of visual effects and motion graphics artists, a growing group of digital image specialists who work in all areas of television and film production, for broadcast, cable, theatrical film, advertising, marketing, and education.

In the program students begin with a foundation of drawing and design principles and color theory. They move into studies of 3D modeling, digital video editing, visual effects, broadcast graphics, audio basics, and production design. Finally the program courses enable students to integrate the animation, filmmaking, audio, and design skills to produce projects in a production studio-style collaborative environment and to create a portfolio of their best work to show prospective employers.

Graduates with a bachelor’s degree in visual effects & motion graphics will be able to edit and assemble a product for television, movies, or the Web, create opening titles for feature films and television shows, create station or network identification logos and bumpers, and design graphics that use type, color, and brand elements. They will be prepared to seek entry-level positions in broadcast and cable television, small production houses, or in-house corporate video production departments. Job titles may include, but are not limited to, production assistant, assistant designer, assistant compositor, visual effects specialist, broadcast design assistant, digital artist, and assistant editor.
