Dive into the World Of...
Animation
Animation has a rich history that has evolved significantly over time. It has become a mesmerizing medium for all ages. At AVIJOZI we will be exploring various aspects of animation, from stop motion, and classic animation to fully animated 3D worlds.
Visual Effects
Remember the Avengers: Endgame? It involved green screens, body doubles, CGI characters, explosions, and took many artists to create. VFX artists thrive for realism in their craft, and work on the cutting-edge of technology.
