Many freshmen entering the Animation and Visual Effects program at Dodge College this year were born the year The Matrix<\/em> was released\u2014in effect, they have been surrounded by stunning visual effects their entire lives. Just as Keanu Reeves (Neo) fights to find his way out of the matrix, today\u2019s aspiring young filmmakers are often fighting to get into the industry that created that eerie computer-controlled world.<\/p>\n

The Visual Effects (VFX) program has grown to match their needs and desires. With the arrival of program director and Professor Bill Kroyer<\/a>, an Oscar-nominated animation director, and 35-year Hollywood veteran, what was once a bare-bones set of classes began to be shaped by connections\u2014through Kroyer\u2014to the top artists in the industry who have helped revise the curriculum to meet industry standards. As an area of study within the Animation and Visual Effects program, studies in VFX have been further supplemented by the addition of a minor in VFX and, most recently, a minor in Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality (VRAR).<\/p>\n

Whichever path a student chooses, a key advantage of studying visual effects at Chapman is its home within the #6 film school in the nation. \u201cFor all practical purposes, our students have the opportunity to work as if we were a VFX house serving a major film studio. With all of the live action production at Dodge, our students have endless opportunities to partner with production students, both grad and undergrad, to practice their art and craft,\u201d says Kroyer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ben Jannasch (BFA\/DA \u201918) is exactly the kind of student who takes advantage of this opportunity. Starting as a young boy interested in cartooning, Jannasch moved from drawing to filming but was frustrated that he couldn\u2019t capture everything in his imagination as he done with his drawings\u2014until he discovered the world of visual effects in high school. At Chapman, he values \u201ccontinuing to push both my passions of production as well as VFX,\u201d with the goal of becoming a VFX supervisor both \u201con set as well as during the post-production process.\u201d<\/p>\n

Professor Adam Rote, a visual effects artist who has worked on films big and small (Iron Man 3, Man of Steel, Minority Report, Cats and Dogs<\/em>) as well as a wide variety of video games (the Star Trek<\/em> series, among others), teaches several of the primary VFX courses. For Rote, the biggest challenge is \u201cthe daunting task of getting the students up to speed with the amount of software that is needed and used for each and every project in a progressive, yet understandable way.\u201d<\/p>\n

His approach is to teach the class \u201cmore like team building, just like I have done as Lead Artist or VFX Supervisor on the job with a team of artists.\u201d He asks more advanced students to help those who need more assistance. At the same time, he pushes his students to practice each new skill immediately after class and on a continuing basis because \u201cKnowledge is like water. It evaporates quickly if not used daily.\u201d<\/p>\n

In working with live action students, Rote finds that they often underestimate how long it can take to create effects or they misunderstand the process, making mistakes such as giving the VFX artist \u201cgreen screen footage covered with orange tape shapes\u201d\u2014unneeded markers that need to be digitally removed in cleanup. As he says, \u201cthere is no \u2018make art\u2019 button\u201d on the computer, so all VFX work and any green screen work needs to be identified during script breakdown and given priority in planning.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Rote takes his students through the technical challenges of Maya, Nuke, AfterEffects and Z-Brush and other software programs so that they can master tracking, compositing, set extensions, environmental modeling and lighting, creating digital characters and props, and motion\/performance capture. They learn about the production pipeline in order to be prepared to schedule and budget, manage data-wrangling, use pre-visualization, troubleshoot on set and prepare assets for post-production and delivery. It\u2019s a complex process, but one that can lead to astonishing results\u2014from the creation of new worlds to never before imagined life forms, all in service of story.<\/p>\n

At the end of the day, as Kroyer says, \u201chopefully they will learn the mantra we have taught them in the animation\/VFX program from freshman year: do not be seduced by technology! Despite the wondrous new tools and powerful computing power at your fingertips, it is the eye, the taste, and the judgment of the artist that makes movies great.\u201d<\/p>\n
