3. semester

Mastering theory

On the third semester, the emphasis is on individual work and master classes. The master classes cover specific and unique areas with emphasis on expertise within the chosen subject. The third semester welcomes guest teachers who come in and give courses in different subjects such as Sculpting in Zbrush, Advanced Rigging, Animation and VFX. The semester will end with a production that includes one or a combination of several topics learned during the semester, with overall focus being VFX.

The student has the opportunity to enhance their artistry and technical skills in one or more 3D areas during short intense courses. The guest instructors are all high-end production professionals from the Danish and international film or game industry.

Each class lasts between two and four weeks and consists of lectures, tutorials and guided work. After the first weeks there will be a self-study/student production lasting one or two weeks. In the end of the self- study, all students will hand in their own production and the guest teacher will evaluate and grade the material.

This semester gives students the possibility to learn about the elite of the industry, talk to persons that have worked on large movie productions or famous games, and gain insight and understanding of some of the methods used by the very best within of the industry.
