A new visual effects scheme is being implemented by the University of York to teach TFTV tutors about how to use visual effects.
The VFX Tutor Boot Camp: Shooting for Visual Effects is pitched at tutors currently teaching visual effects courses at UK institutions. It is a two day course, which is being held on the 24th and 25th March, and is supported by Creative Skillset’s Film Skills Fund.
York’s Department of Theatre, Film and Television will be hosting the course and the tutors “will learn professional workflows and working practices, and production for visual effects-based projects, including camera requirements, screen lighting and spill suppression, lighting and matching backplates, on-set visualisation methods, footage acquisition, back-up and preparation for VFX and asset management.”
The course features an evening with Stephen Nixon, who helped produce Godzilla amongst other film productions.
