fxphd April09 course list online

fxphd has put the course list for their April09 term online, and it’s a great collection of classes.  Also, they’ve teamed with the Sydney effects house FIN Design to focus many of the courses on the 3-part mini-series Red Dwarf: Back to Earth, shot entirely with the new RED ONE camera.

The term is focused heavily on the production and VFX of Red Dwarf with several new courses resulting from the effort, but there’s also two new After Effects courses, our first ever course on Scripting with Python, an all new Smoke course, and a follow up to Lucas Martell’s XSI course covering his amazing work on “Pigeon: Impossible.”

New this term, members will have access to Red Giant Trapcode Suite and Magic Bullet Looks. And, as always, we have VPN educational licenses of Cinema4D, Nuke, PFTrack, Maya, Fusion, and Massive for your use in following the courses.
