COURSE OVERVIEW.

The film and entertainment industry is experiencing a transformative shift, driven by the rise of real-time technologies. Unreal Engine has become a dominant force in this revolution, offering a powerful platform for virtual production, previsualization, and the creation of stunning, high-quality cinematics. As filmmakers, animators, and VFX artists strive to achieve photorealistic visuals and immersive storytelling, Unreal Engine provides an unparalleled real-time workflow. This approach not only accelerates production and reduces costs but also significantly expands creative possibilities, allowing for on-the-fly experimentation and iteration.

 

Learning Language: Choose to learn in Arabic or English
Learning type: Hybrid (Online live classes/Labs + Pre-recorded material)

Duration: 3 months

PROGRAM CURRICULUM.

 

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to cinematic storytelling using Unreal Engine. Students will begin by mastering Sequencer, Unreal Engine's powerful tool for creating professional-grade cinematics. This includes learning track management, keyframing, and building complex cinematic sequences. The course then delves into character and camera animation, focusing on creating realistic performances and visually compelling storytelling through animation techniques, camera movements, and cinematic composition.
 
Students will also explore real-time lighting and rendering, learning to achieve high-end visuals comparable to traditional rendering methods by understanding different lighting techniques, materials, and optimization strategies. The integration of motion capture and facial animation data is covered, teaching students how to import and apply motion data, refine animations, and achieve nuanced facial expressions for lifelike character performances.
 
A significant portion of the course is dedicated to virtual production techniques, including in-camera VFX and green screen replacements, enabling students to create realistic virtual environments and seamlessly integrate live-action footage. Finally, the course explores enhancing storytelling with dynamic visual effects and physics-based interactions, teaching students to create particle effects, simulate physics, and add impactful visual elements to their scenes.

Final Project:

You will have the opportunity to develop a self-chosen project, which will help you build your portfolio with guidance from the instructors through mentorship sessions. This project will provide you with real-world context, allowing you to learn how to address technical challenges and how to find solutions before entering the job market.
 
The detailed curriculum will be finalized and released soon!
