VFX Project

This project is due: March 1, 2013 at the end of class

Goal
Students will learn the fundamentals of visual effects in live action production. Students will get the chance to film a live-action short, design a poster, and create VFXs and a title sequence.

Projects

• Poster
• Title Sequence
• Visual Effects Examples
• Finished Short Film (at least 5 mins)

The projects will consist of in-class assignments, lectures, and video tutorials.

Each group needs to have a finished short film with a poster or a trailer to a film with a poster. The final project will be based on creativity and originality of the required effects. The required effects are as followed:

1. A composited shot (Green Screen) with a live action or 3D environment
2. Explosion
3. Firing object
4. a modeled prop from each member of the team that works in the scene
5. AE effect
6. 3D title (Open Credits)
7. AE titles (End Credits)

The final project needs to have sound effects and either dialogue or narration. There needs to be at least 2 “actors” (group members) in film/trailer

Additional information will be provided in class.
