Course Summary

Overview

Digital effects (DFX) are everywhere – from Marvel blockbusters and immersive content, to commercials, television programmes, games and independent movies. This course gives students extensive, practical training on real sets, in a visual effects (VFX) and animation studio, and in cutting-edge grading and finishing suites.

DFX students are taught essential 2D and 3D VFX and Colour/Finishing techniques and will go on to specialise in either:

?Colour Grading and Finishing
VFX (CG)
VFX (Compositing)

DFX students will collaborate with those in other specialisms at the NFTS to make film, TV, games and practical projects, putting into practice the skills they learn throughout the course – with all production costs met by the School.
