MISSION
The mission of the Laboratory for Creative Digital Techniques for Film is to provide the most advanced tools for digital processing at film industry level for students, teaching and research staff, and to develop expertise in the use of digital tools for film. Creating a critical mass of CGI and VFX experts is a necessary target for the development of the filed at the national level.
In the last 30 years, film has gone through a major transformation going from analogue to digital production and distribution. The digital environment has increased the work speed, as well as the profits, due to its level of attractiveness and the quality of the end products— films, media content, games etc. At the same time, it also made possible new working methods and generated more and more creative ways of expression. Film specialists and media content creators are fully dependent on digital technical support. Digital tools bring new powers to film creators through CGI and VFX, alongside traditional editing techniques.
