Your Roadmap
Week 1
Python Introduction
First we explore the impact Python will have on your future work. We introduce Python basics, how we can use them and what their benefits are. Finally we write our first lines of Python code.
Week 2
Script Editor, Lists
& Dictionaries
We explore the script editor Sublime Text and learn the new data types lists and dictionaries. New expressions and useful functions start to form our understanding of scripting.
Week 3
Loops & Pseudo Code
Loops and ifs are the most important topics in Python since they allow us to write small batch processes. Pseudo code helps us to outline our future scripts.
Week 4
Functions, Naming
and Scope
Functions allow us to write more repeatable and cleaner code. Naming and scope help us to write more professional scripts.
Week 5
External Files, Error and Debug
We finish our Python introduction by writing and executing scripts in different modules. System variables and error handling rounds up our Python basics.
Python has been a career-changer
After being the only Technical Director at a small animation studio, I found myself at Weta FX working on Avatar: The Way of Water. Asking myself: "How did I get here?"
After switching my first mayor from law to Media Computer Science I found a new appreciation for technology and film. This led me to study Technical Directing at the renowned Filmakademie Baden-Wuerttemberg in Germany.
My Python skills landed me roles at Weta FX, Framestore, and Mackevision. There I worked on the blockbusters Avatar: The Way of Water (Oscar 2023), Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and the Monsters at Work series.
We won the Oscar for "Best Visual Effects" (2023) for Avatar: The Way of Water. Before my work on the Open Source Pipeline "Plex" on the short film Breaking Point won the VES Award (2017).
My journey and success are testament to the Power of Python. After teaching Python at ArtFx and CG Master Academy I'm thrilled to share my knowledge through this masterclass to provide the same opportunities to you.
