DIGI 399 - Animation and Visual Effects

Institution:

Point Park University

Subject:

DIGITAL ARTS

Description:

This course allows students to gain practical, hands-on experience by acting as creative work/research assistants on projects being done by Animation and Visual effects faculty members or Point Park faculty members in other departments. The nature and scope of the work will be agreed upon by the student and faculty member, and approved by the Cinema Arts department. The goal of the practicum is to allow the student to broaden their knowledge on a particular subject, and to give them experience performing work at a professional level as well as meeting the deadlines given by their faculty supervisor. An additional opportunity for practicum credit is to work on an advanced cinema arts production in a capacity not being filled by a student that is completing that project for credit. Students seeking approval for a student project practicum would be required to arrange to be supervised by an animation and visual effects faculty member. A 3-credit cinema student practicum requires generally 150 hours of work, however credits per hour would vary depending on the nature of the project. Course Objectives Upon successful completion of this course, students will be better able to: (1) Demonstrate an acquired knowledge of the subject matter of the practicum project. (2) Exhibit skills and techniques required in the completion of work related to the subject matter of the practicum project. (3) Work successfully in response to tasks and deadlines assigned by the supervisor. (4) Complete assigned tasks at professional level required within the industry.
