Many of our visual effects lessons and some of our final projects require shooting scenes and elements on a green screen. Green screen photography allows you to replace the background of the subject and is one of the most common tools used in visual effects production.

We have installed a 25 foot seamless green screen rigged with green kino-flow lighting. The studio also includes a lighting grid on the ceiling and an excellent studio lighting package.

Motion Capture

Motion Capture is a process where an actor wears a special suit lined with sensors. The sensors provide the actor's motion data to the computer which is then applied to a computer-animated character.

It has been used to populate the deck of a computer generated ship (titanic) or to bring a creature to life (Gollum in Lord of the Rings).
