Program Description:

Master of Fine Arts in Visual Effects specializes in high-concept, digital visual effects such as advanced 3D modeling and animation, video and audio editing, character animation, CG programming (MEL scripting), and motion capture with the facility's chroma key green wall. Maya's system of tools for simulating object behavior based on realistic physics computations are explored and animations of visual effects such as smoke, fire, and other particle systems are rendered.

Located in the South Florida community of Boca Raton, the DMAC campus is surrounded by graphic design firms and television, film and recording studios. Students can interact with fellow artists as they enjoy the area's international film festivals, art galleries, food festivals and beachside location.

At DMAC, students learn in a studio-like setting using professional-level equipment. Our 33,000-square-foot building includes computer labs, a render farm, a dialogue and foley sound recording room, a motion capture and art studio, and a chroma key green wall with professional video equipment. Students are taught the same production processes (complete with deadlines) as they would encounter in the workplace.

DMAC faculty members are recruited from the visual arts industries, and our low student-to- teacher ratio provides opportunities for individualized instruction. We offer career training, placement assistance, and an environment that cultivates free thinking.
