Computers have revolutionized animation. No longer do you require advanced artistic drafting skills and the patience to create hundreds and thousands of transparent cells, each one showing the tiniest change of motion from the one before it. When you take an animation course, you will learn how computers can be used to eliminate the drudgery of animation while allowing you to unleash your creative power.
A special effects course will help prepare you for employment in one of the film industry's most exciting disciplines. You will learn how to take the original image on silver-based film, and manipulate it into a wide variety of imaginitive and surreal variations. Almost every film today, no matter how realistic, goes through some special effects generation, whether it's improving the lighting in a scene, correcting the color balance for a more uniform look, or adding a brighter sunset.
