Welcome

Visual effects are employed whenever filmmakers need images that are either impossible or impractical to shoot in the real world. Visual effects artists at studios both large and small help filmmakers achieve their vision. Visual effects are also a commonplace tool for television programs and commercials.

Students learn the art and craft of visual effects through the integration of technology and art.

SCAD provides a unique combination of computer programming and technical instruction built upon a traditional fine arts foundation. Visual effects majors may choose a minor in a complementary subject such as film and television, technical direction, architecture, photography or storyboarding.

Students work individually and collaboratively within a framework of cooperative activity that reflects the real-world experience of film and digital entertainment production.

SCAD production facilities offer both undergraduate and graduate students access to high-end, industry-standard digital tools including Adobe Master Collection, Autodesk Maya, Shake, Mental Ray, RenderMan and Houdini.

In addition to a high-speed network of Linux, OS X and PC workstations, students use a large file server and powerful render farm and have 24-hour access to computer labs.

SCAD's cutting-edge computer systems are complemented by two green-screen stages, HD cameras and a Vicon motion capture studio to provide students with a complete digital production facility.
