Digital FX Makeup
This class teaches students how to utilize digital media to create makeup and character designs. In this unique class, students utilize computers, design software and digital pen tablets to develop their character and creature design skills. This class teaches essential skills for any student looking to work in the film and television industry, especially in the field of character development and creation.
Creature Maquette
This class teaches students how to create and sculpt clay maquette to be used in character design for the toy, videogame, film and television industries. During this advanced course, each student creates and sculpts their own character, learning directly from Hollywood’s creature creation masters.
Zbrush Digital Design
In this 40-hour class, students learn to use state-of-the-art 3D modeling software to create realistic digital models that can be used as concept art or in finished projects. These advanced skills are useful in many design-related fields, from motion pictures, to videogames, to toy and product design.
