    Description
    Creating a computer-generated feature-length movie requires an idea, the ability to visually develop the idea, and the tenacity to perform the arduous task of producing it. This course offers both an overall and a technical perspective on the PDI/DreamWorks movie-making process with a focus on some of the key areas in production of “Shrek”: art direction, character development, simulation, effects, lighting, and digital storytelling.
