MPFV257 Digital Compositing: Manipulating Time and Motion 3cr This course is an introduction to visual effects
techniques for combining separate image sources
such as live action, 2D animation, and still
images into one cohesive project.
Among the course topics students learn animation
techniques, working with masks and traveling
mattes, track motion, creating motion paths,
remapping time, and rotoscoping. Basic color
theory is also addressed.
The primary software is After Effects which is
also demonstrated in cross-application workflows
with Photoshop and Premiere. Techniques are
explored through multiple exercises and the class
will conclude in the realization of one final
project.
Lectures of pre-digital and digital compositing
techniques and the screening of contemporary
artists’ works create the conceptual framework of
the class and informs the students’ visual
vocabulary.
