Digital design focuses on ‘movie visual effects and character animation design’ emphasizing the combination of digital technology tools, culture, humanities and design aesthetics.
The course offers the whole process of designing character animation and the visual effect. First, embodying the initial idea to the production of the concept art. Second, turning the concept art into the writing of the story script.
