Introduction to VFX for cinema
“The final project of this course will consist of preparing your demo reel using your audiovisual works already done. If you already have a previous reel demo you should see how it can be improved and update it by adding new projects. If you have never done a demo reel, this is the opportunity to assemble the first video sample of your work in a striking, effective and professional manner. You will need to have your audiovisual works at hand and a simple video editor that you manage well. You must decide: - What works deserve to appear and what to leave out. - In what order to place each piece. - What music to use. - Rhythm, editing and editing details. - What explanatory text must accompany each project (the breakdown) both on screen and in description. I will review your projects and give you feedback to try to get the best possible final result. I will answer your questions as soon as possible, according to my daily availability. Be patient if I delay, I promise to answer you all. Encourage also to show your reel to your colleagues, to see the reels of others, to receive feedback from people with different points of view and make constructive criticism of the work of others. Together we will learn more and our progress will be enriched. --- Well, dear students, we have already reached the end of this introductory course to workflows in VFX. I hope you found it instructive and interesting. For me it has been a pleasure to tell you some things that I have learned in my years of experience in this profession that I love so much. Thank you very much for your assistance and enthusiasm. We read in forums and networks. ”
