Dreamworks will present an EFX workshop on Thursday, October 26. This workshop is tied to The DreamWorks Animation Effects Challenge, an intensive summer training program designed to give students a firm knowledge base in the concepts critical to the design and animation of effects in CG feature animation. It covers programming, drawing, rendering, compositing, animation, simulation and the fine art of taking direction. Thursday's workshop will provide an overview of the effects process at Dreamworks and help to prepare students for application to the Challenge program this spring. Following the workshop, Dreamworks will review student work. Both the workshop and portfolio review require a reservation.
