The Master's program is structured into two academic years, combining theory and practice: 

1. Fundamentals of Motion Graphics and Postproduction: Introduction to basic tools and techniques. 
2. Advanced Techniques in Motion Graphics 3D, VFX, and Composition: In-depth exploration of advanced techniques and real projects.

During the first year, students will learn to use After Effects and Cinema 4D to create 2D/3D animations, working on projects that include animated graphics and basic visual effects. Additionally, they will be introduced to advanced post-production work with Nuke that will position them within the industry standard. The second year focuses on specialization, deepening the use of Nuke for advanced composition, integration of 3D motion graphics into real footage, and color correction techniques. Each module includes practical projects simulating professional environments, allowing students to apply what they have learned in real situations.

Adobe After Effects: After Effects is the industry standard tool for creating motion graphics and visual effects. It allows for animation of text, shapes, and graphics, as well as integration of 3D elements through its compatibility with Cinema 4D. It is ideal for designing titles, transitions, complex compositions, layer animation, masks, rotoscoping, mattes, animated text, tracking, chroma integration, and 3D pass compositing.

DaVinci Resolve: a professional tool for color correction; it is the tool used in the film industry to achieve high-quality visual finishing. With DaVinci Resolve, you will work on industry workflows, primary and secondary color correction, expressive color treatment, stills, nodes for professional color grading, and cinematic visual finishing.

Cinema 4D: 3D modeling and animation that seamlessly integrates with After Effects. You will work on 3D motion graphics, visual effects, and complex simulations. Its intuitive interface and advanced tools make it popular among designers and 3D artists for polygonal modeling, animation, physical simulations, particles, mechanical rigging, Mograph systems (working with Redshift Renderer), and AOVs, simulation integration, and 3D tracking.

Nuke: advanced digital post-production. Its node-based system allows for precise image manipulation and integration of CGI elements with real footage. It will be used for advanced compositing, chromakey, integration of 3D renders, 2D and 3D tracking, video stabilization, 3D geometry and scenes, set extension, and matte painting.
