Get an introduction to the world of 3D motion graphics and the endless possibilities of what you can create through animation, visual effects and simulations by altering realities and engaging audiences in unique ways.
You use the tools and techniques of animation, visual effects (VFX), digital painting and CGI to produce content for a variety of formats including film, traditional and 3D animation, motion graphics and GUI, real time rendering and video games. Through hands-on creative assignments, you learn these techniques and define your identity as a digital media producer.
You gain introductory knowledge of the forms of 3D animation and its history, as well as producing your own animated pieces. You create and animate graphics within three dimensional space as well as flat animation for motion graphics as you learn the foundations of Cinema 4D, Blender and Adobe After Effects to navigate interfaces using transformation properties, keyframes, graph editor, camera systems, splines, primitives and motion-graphic tools. You practice designing graphics, typography, title animation and visual effects through the entire process of 3D workflow. The projects lead you to up-skill your motion-design practice as you navigate the third dimension with exploration of modelling techniques, texturing, shading, lighting, sculpting and rendering. Adding 3D into your toolkit will enhance your design practice and improve your portfolios with immersive and multimedia animated content.
