Abstract

3D imagery is used to enhance traditional film footage in all areas of the film and video industry. In order to be prepared for industry, it is necessary for students to be familiar with the process of putting live and computer generated images together in a believable fashion. Because of the recent beginning of the Animation majors at BYU, this technique has not been sufficiently taught to students. We were able to learn and use this technique in our research. We hope to be able to use our findings and experiences to teach others in the animation programs. BYU possesses the hardware and software necessary to use this technique, but this equipment is sorely underused. We hope to increase desire among students to use program equipment, and to create footage mixing both live and computer generated images.
