Bachelor's Degree

Compositing, Post-production and VFX

You will learn to design and develop graphic projects using applications and tools based on editing digital images and raster graphics.

You will learn the principles of marketing and their application in digital media, as well as integrated communication, developing plans and strategies for the development of products and services within the creative industries.

You'll take a step forward in the 3D design you learned in the previous course, acquiring complex knowledge to generate objects and spaces in a 3D environment. You'll acquire sufficient criteria to correctly assign attributes to surfaces created through 3D modeling, as well as understand the principles of lighting and its various applications in 3D animation.

You will delve into the aesthetic and narrative aspects of lighting in an audiovisual production, the signifiers and importance and distribution of film and narrative space, scene composition, as well as other technical aspects: lighting techniques, exposure, and color adjustments.

You will learn to master the conceptual tools and techniques necessary for narrative previsualization using storyboarding, addressing shot composition, frame length, and the scene's point of view, among other elements, as well as the dramatic and narrative significance of the choice within the context and time of the story.

You will establish the fundamentals and technical applications of 3D digital modeling and sculpting, with knowledge of the main current digital modeling tools for high-poly organic models, in addition to applying traditional sculpting methods to the creation of high-poly 3D models.

You'll develop skills related to the visual representation of surfaces, textures, and shaders in 3D and CGI models, as well as the adaptation of color and light to represent a specific visual sensation in different graphics engines. You'll also gain in-depth knowledge of the tools needed to render materials and textures and to add dynamic effects in real time.

By creating a real-time visual piece, you'll apply the knowledge acquired during the second course. This will allow you to study and create a VFX pipeline, concepts of VFX project direction and management, as well as principles of team, communication, market, client, and product management, as well as familiarize yourself with aspects related to the financial structure of audiovisual companies.

These are teachings oriented toward respect for and the promotion of human rights, the values ​​inherent to a culture of peace and democracy, and the principles of equality and solidarity, with a special focus on the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda.

You will learn the technical processes required to manage and operate composition and post-production programs using nodes based on prior planning. You will be able to organize materials and understand formats, as well as use audiovisual editing techniques to convey the different messages required by each production to your target audience.

You'll master the creation of visual effects with particles, as well as the different physics systems of fractures and collisions, using the various professional software necessary.

You'll learn how to create volumetric effects such as smoke, fog, and similar using various professional software.

You'll learn to address the challenges that arise when trying to articulate any object or character that needs to be animated, taking into account the structure, anatomy, physics, and animation principles you want to apply. Through the skeleton-based animation technique, where each part of the structure becomes a fundamental element for the control, movement, and deformation of characters or mechanical objects, you'll develop the artistic possibilities of the tools, in addition to providing technical training.

You will understand audiovisual language and narrative to comprehend audiovisual stories. You will develop the skills to create morphological elements of audiovisual language, such as shot types and camera movements, as well as narrative resources, in addition to film criticism and analysis. You will be able to create editing and staging elements, such as lighting, art direction, sounds, and soundtracks.

These are teachings oriented toward respect for and the promotion of human rights, the values ​​inherent to a culture of peace and democracy, and the principles of equality and solidarity, with a special focus on the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda.

You'll be able to develop the main virtual production workflows. Through these, you'll manage lighting, composition, and real-time rendering on virtual production recording sets.

You'll learn the appropriate technology for creating real-time visual effects, as well as how to use the main graphics engine tools to create both simple and complex effects, primarily particle and volumetric effects.

By developing a real-time virtual production project, you will apply the knowledge acquired during the second course, allowing you to deepen your understanding and application of production and dissemination techniques and processes in their various phases from the perspective of the organization and management of technical, human, and budgetary resources. You will learn the nature and characteristics of funding sources, intellectual property, trademarks, patents, and copyrights.

You'll delve into the role the Production department plays in the creation of an audiovisual work, learning the areas and decisions that must be made regarding visual content and in the development and management of the product, right through to its distribution and final exploitation.

You will advance in VFX development and composition, such as creating complex atmospheric systems, creating crowds, and handling complex fluids.

You will gain an in-depth understanding of the processes for visualizing ideas and the artistic pre-production of graphic projects.

You will expand your knowledge of technical and artistic concepts related to your 3D modeling training, mastering techniques for creating organic characters, modular creation for environments, and solid surface creation.

You'll expand your knowledge with advanced 3D clothing and fabric creation and animation techniques, pattern making to simulate fabrics on any 3D element, and hair systems on 3D elements, as well as physical properties and animation systems.

The subject of civic ethics harmonizes professional practice with the dynamics of civil society, with the set of human rights and values, and with the achievement of the common good.

You will complete your internship in a real-life work environment where you will apply all the theoretical and technical content acquired throughout your training.

As the end of your studies, you will be required to present an original, independent, and personal project. This work may be completed individually or in a coordinated manner and will be carried out under the guidance of a tutor.
