Course Overview
What do they do - Star Wars. Toy Story. Terminator. Jurassic Park. Finding Nemo. Monsters, Inc. Shrek. Matrix. Harry Potter. In fact, some of the best, most memorable films today are those using CG, or computer graphics, to construct extremely vivid, larger-than-life virtual worlds that would otherwise be impossible to duplicate.

Specializations - Character animators, digital painters, lighting, render wranglers, & more. Job tasks vary by specialization, but always involve a combination of independent work at a computer and cooperative work with others planning and evaluating projects.
Getting Ahead - Move from small-scale, low-paid projects to higher paying ones. Some people go into management.
