Short film creation – Visual development
Join in on building the visual foundation of an animated short film through professional-level visual development and collaborative production workflows. In this course, you’ll work with mentors and other students to develop the world, mood, and artistic direction of a film project from pre-production to production-ready designs.
You’ll explore storytelling through character design, environment design, color scripts, storyboarding, and visual exploration, learning how each department contributes to the final film. Students will collaborate on one of several potential short film concepts while gaining hands-on experience within a studio-style pipeline.
By the end of the course, you’ll have created a polished visual development portfolio featuring production-ready designs, cinematic storytelling, and cohesive world-building.
Portfolio submission is required for enrollment.
