fxphd – Digital Photography PHT202

We
are joined by Steve Anderson who will focus on photography for VFX
artists. The course will cover generating textures, HDR, shooting for
matte paintings, timelaspe, how to photography normal mattes, and much
more. This terms focus is really on specialist photography and showing
how a DSLR can be the number one tool for a VFX supervisor on set. If
you do on set work and provide assets to other members of your team this
course will show you a number of ways to provide better material and
speed up both workflows and render times on larger projects.
Steve is
a highly award visual effects supervisor with a very strong 3D
background. Many of the classes will be relevant to people with 3D
skills, as well as 2D. Steve is also a very accomplished stills
photographer in his own right.

fxphd – Digital Photography PHT203 (2 Classes)

There
are a lot of aspects and approaches to photography, but many of them
end up in Photoshop. Professional photographer Tim Wheeler and our own
Mike Seymour will show how to shoot high-end professional photographs
and then post them in Photoshop. Half of the classes will be in the
field or in the studio with Tim and the other half Mike will be tackling
the work in Photoshop with help from fxphd professor Rose Draper.
While
most of the course will use Photoshop, other image processing tools and
plugins will be used. The course aims to cover grading, HDR, tone
mapping, panoramas, and more. SInce this is a 200 level course, it will
assume a base level of Photoshop knowledge. Access to a digital stills
camera and Photoshop is highly recommended. Post-grads will be
encouraged to post their work for review. We have some exciting shoots
planned, including a shoot with Jeff Heusser at the neon graveyard in
Las Vegas where we pit Canon against Nikon.
