In this unique fxphd course Matt Leonard takes you on a journey through the history of visual effects. Starting in 1867 and moving forward to today we look at how the industry got started, the key players and what techniques and tools they where using. We look at familiar names such as George Méliès, Ray Harryhausen, Dennis Murren and others as we cover their contribution to art and science of VFX.
Over the entire course we look at movies, companies, software, techniques, people, places and technologies. From Blade Runner to Avatar, Alias/1 to Maya, hand painted glass matte to Nuke’s RotoPaint. The course structure will consist of video interviews, software demos, slides, illustrations, film extracts and much more. I’ll be showing old school techniques recreated with modern tools and we’ll be getting some advice from a number of today's great VFX Supervisors.
