The history of special effects in cinema is rich and varied, covering everything from clay models and painted scenery to explosions, practical prosthetics, CGI techniques, and advanced motion capture methods. Career options are largely based around the film industry, and can include positions like visual effects artist, 3D animator, practical model maker, film production designer, or creative software engineer. Students learn about visual storytelling, and how to apply their technical skills to creating memorable on-screen moments. Students can specialise at postgraduate level into many different areas, making them suited to the style of creative work which inspires them the most.
