The minor in Virtual Production examines the role of the artist in virtual production, motion pictures, television, game design, and new media both from a theoretical and practical perspective. Students will learn what contributes to the storytelling process and how to identify these contributions when engaged in an immersive experience, watching a movie, television, playing a game, or streaming internet content. Students will work on projects that give them hands on experience creating concept art for entertainment productions combining 2D and 3D craft solving practical problems using the design skills they learn in minor.
