SFFS SPECIAL SEMINAR
Cinematography and Shot Design for VFX and Feature Animation
Friday, December 3rd, 2021, 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
SF Film School Cinema Room & Online
In this course, I will cover classic design principles combined with examples from current VFX and Animation movies. I will also provide industry insights by giving a detailed breakdown of shots from my showreel and explaining how these design principles were applied in production. My lecture is completely software independent since I focus more on general concepts and the creative side of the work.
The lecture is aimed specifically at filmmakers, VFX artists, lighters, animators, storyboarders, designers, technical directors, producers and artists who are interested in a slightly different look behind the scenes.
