Animation layout artists work with the cameramen and director to coordinate and create optimal 3D animation shots. They translate 2D storyboards into 3D animated shots and are responsible for camera angles, frames and lighting of animation scenes. Animation layout artists decide which action takes place in which animation scene.
The production of art through digital tools, software, computers or other electronic devices. It involves the use of various mediums for artistic expression such as digital photography or computer graphics as well as pixel art.
The arrangement or digital effect which simulates lighting in a 3D environment.
Photographic technique that produces multidimensional images where all visual information from the object, its environment, and the space in which it is located is recorded by coherent light such as a laser beam. The holographic image, hologram, appears in an unrecognisable pattern until illumination by a coherent light organises it into a 3D representation of the original object. Holography can record light intensity but also the degree to which the wave fronts, components of the reflected light, are matched to each other.
The characteristics, use and operations of various software products such as computer programmes and application software.
The field that merges approaches from computer science and design. It involves the process of creating images, 3D models generation, as well as the rendering, texturing and lighting them. Its applications vary from digital photography, film and video games, and the display of images on electronic devices.
The techniques to create a visual representation of ideas and messages.
The techniques and software for creating the illusion of motion such as keyframing, Adobe After Effects, and Nuke.
The methods, procedures and techniques pertaining to the operation of multimedia systems, usually a combination of software and hardware, presenting various types of media such as video and audio.
