Program Context
|
Comp Animation-Dig Vis Eff |
Program Coordinator: James Sayers |
Compositing is relied on quite heavy in the creation of complex visual effects work. In most instances compositing is the glue that binds all the elements together and in it's own right, many sophisticated effects can be created directly within the compositing software. Anyone thinking seriously about creating visual effects must have a high level of expertise in this area.

Applicable student group(s): Students of Computer Animation
Course Details:Some details of this outline may change as a result of circumstances
such as weather cancellations, College and student activities, and
class timetabling.
Students will begin and complete their final project with individual
one on one sessions with their instructor. Advanced uses of techniques

Academic Honesty
The principle of academic honesty requires that all work submitted for evaluation and course credit be the original,
unassisted work of the student. Cheating or plagiarism including borrowing, copying, purchasing or collaborating on
work, except for group projects arranged and approved by the faculty member, or otherwise submitting work that is not
the student's own violates this principle and will not be tolerated. Instances of academic dishonesty, including
assisting another student to cheat, will be penalized as detailed in the Student Handbook.
Students who have any questions regarding whether or not specific circumstances involve a breach of academic
honesty are advised to discuss them with the faculty member prior to submitting the assignment in question.
Discrimination and Harassment
Sheridan is committed to provide a learning environment that respects the dignity, self esteem and fair treatment
of every person engaged in the learning process. Behaviour which is inconsistent with this principle will
not be tolerated. Details of Sheridan's policy on Harassment and Discrimination are available in the Student Handbook.
