Get in the Game!
Star Wars or any Pixar film could never have been made without the skills and software you will learn in this program. You are challenged to combine your academic abilities with creativity and innovation, as you redefine reality through 3D design and animation, visual effects, and advanced techniques for motion graphics in an environment that encourages teamwork, problem solving, and the ability to meet deadlines.
College bound? Complete curriculum designed to provide an overview of the opportunities available related to animation and visual effects so you can "try it out" before selecting a major. Develop exceptionally creative digital portfolios and demo reels, limited only by the imagination. Advance your motion graphics and 3D animation skills to the next level as you learn to bring your creations to life.
Autodesks' Oscar-winning software, Maya is the primary application our program utilizes; Maya is a broad, practical program with many applications. It supports several industries, including the entertainment industry--movies, television, and video games; training and education; web animation; communications and marketing; government and healthcare professions through simulated animations; advertising, particularly with the growth of the "in-game" advertising; and in the corporate world, where digital media is increasingly used as a visual marketing tool as businesses struggle to be noticed in our digital society.
In addition to Maya, you may use a variety of CGI tools including Flash, Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects; Apple Final Cut Pro, ZBrush, MotionBuilder, and compositing applications. You will have the ability to earn over 30 hours of college credit.
