Welcome
Visual effects are employed whenever filmmakers need images that are either impossible or impractical to shoot in the real world. Visual effects artists at studios both large and small help filmmakers achieve their vision. Visual effects are also a commonplace tool for television programs and commercials.
Students learn the art and craft of visual effects through the integration of technology and art.

SCAD provides a unique combination of computer programming and technical instruction built upon a traditional fine arts foundation. Visual effects majors may choose a minor in a complementary subject such as film and television, technical direction, architecture, photography or storyboarding.
