PDP IN FILMMAKING VISUAL EFFECTS (24 MONTHS)
This Professional Development Program (PDP) has been designed to deal with Filmmaking by using Live Action, 3D Animation & Visual Effects. The first module deals with the Fundamentals of Art, Design & Composition. A student then understands the basics of Photography and Filmmaking. The second module covers CG Assets & character modelling, texturing, lighting, Rigging & Animation that is required for a VFX film. The third module deals with liquid simulation and visual effects. The fourth module combines CG with live action footage using tracking and advance compositing tools. This module also introduces our students to latest AR & VR technology. At the end of the program, the student develops a Visual Effects short film using Live Action & CG.
