In Motion Graphics and Visual Effects students will work with Adobe After Effects and expand knowledge through advanced use of software and digital video effects. The primary focus of this course will be on post-production work within film and video. Students will learn the fundamental elements of motion graphics by creating and editing shapes, learning to animate them through the use of keyframes, and using layers to organize and pre-compose graphics. Additionally, students will learn about creating realistic visual and special effects to manipulate self-shot footage.
