Whether for film, video games, or digital feature animation, this class will focus on what it takes to create a compelling environment from the ground up. We will explore fundamentals such as perspective, drawing, storytelling, painting, creating atmosphere, establishing lighting, and how we can combine all these different elements into a full scene. By the end of this class, students will have the process and structure to give them the confidence they need to create more solid environments.

With an emphasis on studying the works of old masters, students will discover the process of how to deconstruct the picture plane through film studies, reproductions of master works, and the widely used—but often understated—industry-standard technique of 'Photobashing.' Course work will cover color theory, perspective, and the use of brushes & textures in Photoshop (this includes: creating images of characters, props, or vehicles using photo overlays in Photoshop).

CGMA - Fundamentals of Design with Tyler Edlin

http://www.cgmasteracademy.com/courses/63-fundamentals-of-design

Design pertains to nearly everything. From composition and lighting to the shapes of our characters to the vehicles they travel in. As artists, creatives, and designers, we need to be responsible for all these aspects. Good design involves proper planning and organizing, in addition to having the knowledge of good visual design principles to construct it. Over the next 8 weeks, there will be lectures on all core design principles as well as discussion of the techniques and approaches of implementing them. Along the way we will learn to create our own style guide, become our own art directors, and design some world building, propagating our design aesthetics.

MixingLight - Getting Started With Blackmagic Cloud Storage in DaVinci Resolve

https://mixinglight.com/color-grading-tutorials/get-started-blackmagic-cloud-storage/

• Learn how to set up and share project media with collaborators in DaVinci Resolve with Blackmagic Cloud Storage and the BMD Camera App.
• In the release of DaVinci Resolve 18.6, Blackmagic Design announced the ability to sync media through Blackmagic Cloud.
• Previously, collaboration was limited to projects through the online Project Library (database), and you needed to find your own solution for media syncing. This provides an interesting new workflow option for teams to share projects and media in one inclusive system – completely controlled by DaVinci Resolve and Blackmagic Design ecosystem.
• This does not, however, replace any of your other project/database options. You can also continue using the Cloud Project Library to share projects and sync media through other means. You are not required to use Blackmagic’s cloud storage.
