This industry-relevant Master's is designed to provide media professionals and graduates with an opportunity to advance their in-depth knowledge and technical skills in the latest digital technologies in visual effects production. MA Visual Effects & Virtual Production is a practice-led programme that combines advanced studies in Visual Effects with the new and exciting workflow of Virtual Production. Virtual Production builds upon the notion of 'post-production as pre-production' and the rise of real-time authoring software has afforded content creators, product designers, VFX artists, film makers, performance artists, live studio broadcasters and game designers access to tools and workflows that provide instant 'in camera and final quality' results. This translates to increased productivity and new opportunities for the creative use of technology within the game, film, and media production industries. Alongside essential Visual Effects skills, this programme will equip students with the tools, knowledge, and the mindset to explore new approaches to production through workshops, studio days and location-based filmmaking. This programme is ideal for students who want to develop existing skills in the field of Visual Effects and who are also interested in learning about new methodologies currently being adopted by the entertainment industries.
