Overview

This unit aims to equip students with the skills to plan and devise production scenarios through the exploration of virtual tools and workflows for screen-based projects. Students will draw upon live-action and 3D animation practices to develop a working knowledge of industry standard tools, their relevance and application across a range of screen disciplines.
