The Animation and Visual Effects Academy (AVEA) is a summer program that engages 20 high school participants in hands-on learning using cutting edge technology to create visual and compositing effects that are used in movie making, advertising, cyber visualization programs, and computer gaming. Participants use professional-level tools and techniques to create a short film (from idea to completion) under the instruction of professional filmmakers, visual effects editors, and film compositors.
Academy classes include: Desktop Graphics, Film Making Theory, Film Shooting and Editing, and Visual Effects.
The goal of the academy is to stimulate the academic interest of high-ability students, while also increasing their interest in and awareness of high demand employment opportunities in the multi-billion-dollar digital media industry.
The students’ film will premiere at the Robinson Film Center on July 1, 2012 at 11:00 a.m.
