This course focuses heavily on the fundamentals of perspective, composition, and techniques inherent in designing environments as applied to animation, film and gaming. A critical technical relationship between floor plans, elevations and plan projection sketches is emphasized to underscore the translation of concept design to real world or digital environments. Demos and discussions will help ......
 

This course covers advanced techniques in character animation. It focuses on producing at least two demo-reel-quality animation scenes through nailing down the subtleties of animation, including facial animation; working on giving characters proper weight; and good acting in animation. Exercises include Heavy Lift -- showing weight, clear staging and trimming; Dialog Acting Test -- finding the ......
 

Combining images into a final frame for film or video has become more than just putting image A over image B. Today’s digital tools have been developed through years of producing projects and challenges without the advanced tools now available. The art of compositing is in knowing how to use these tools, and how techniques and procedures are implemented at the lowest levels to achieve the ......
 

This course shows how to use the tools in Shake for practical solutions in daily production. Using real world examples, course instruction will cover topics such as color space, bit depth, & film format, advanced keying & despill technique, working with matte edges, importing and exporting track data with Maya, advanced color correcting (ranges, curves, targeting specific colors), blur & grain ......
 

Translate Acting and Movement in 3D Working with the tools Maya has to offer, this course addresses how to translate acting and movement in 3D. From the graph editor to the dope sheet, from inverse kinematics to forward kinematics, students will learn how to take poses and create fluid movement through timing and spacing.
