Photoshop Composting


In simple terms, VFX is the process by which imagery is created and/or manipulated outside the context of a live action shot to create environments which look realistic, but would be dangerous, expensive, impractical, or simply impossible to capture on film. Visual effects are mostly executed in the post-production stage with the use of multiple tools and technologies such as graphic design, modelling, animation etc, while special effects such as explosions and car chases are partially executed during the filming process itself.



Our Vfx course has been designed in such a wholesome manner that it gives a hands-on experience to the students about every single aspect of digital effects such Matte paintings, Masking, Keying, Computer graphics using animation, Particle effects, Creating digital sets & backgrounds, Camera tracking, Integrating live action with effects, Title animation etc. Interaction with studio professionals & participating in the workshops we conduct on a regular basis gives our students the required production experience, which would augur well for them during their interviews.









With our in-house green matte studio, we make our students to work in as many Vfx projects as possible under the guidance of an expert trainer. We also share real time projects for them to work upon, thus helping them improve their skills in this field. There are many institutes that offer Vfx training in Chennai, but Web D School has marched ahead of all of them to become the No.1 institute, by offering the best quality training coupled with numerous value additions.



      The Vfx courses in Chennai, at Web D School, will make you a professional Vfx artist & it shall open a lot of doors for you, in terms of career options, in the visual effects field.

5 things you must check before selecting an institute to learn Vfx courses in Chennai
