Visual Effects Compositing, BS


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: College of Technology

No movie today is completed without the use of digital enhancements. A compositor is responsible for layering all digital effects in the final movie, including color correction, integration of rendered 3-D models, object removal, and set extensions.

The visual effects compositing major gives you experience creating effects for video in both live action and computer-generated integration. You will learn to integrate effects, place actors who were filmed in front of a green screen into virtual environments, merge 3-D models with live action sets, and layer video and photo elements to create stunning imagery. You will also learn proper techniques for filming your own videos for use in professional video compositing.
