Visual Media Design Thread- 16 credits

The goal for the Visual Media Design thread is to offer creative and artistic students the opportunity to develop skills and concepts related to the processes and visualization of media used in interactive environments, time-based HDV, special effects and compositing, photography and in 3D modeling, motion capture and animation. The first offering in each area below ie: Web, HDDV, Animation/Motion Graphics, Interactive, Digital Photo, 3D will be available to any student who completes the Visual Media Design Core to use as electives in other threads. Additional levels in this thread can be taken after that if desired. Questions? Contact Prof. Denis Dale.
