Sheridan Institute of Technology, Oakville, Canada. Negatives – Doesn’t recognise 3-year degrees, difficult to get in.Ĥ. Positives – Master’s degree in VFX, An established brand name. I didn’t even try applying as it was really expensive! SCAD, has very recently started offering Master’s in VFX as well(In fact, i wasn’t aware of this before writing this article). Savannah College of Art & Design(SCAD), Atlanta&Savannah (USA)
Negatives – Doesn’t recognise 3-year degreesģ. Positives – Master’s degree in VFX, yearly student showcase attended by BIG studios. Every year they have a huge showcase of their student’s work and a lot of students are hired by renowned employers on this occasion. The only reason I didn't go for it is because they don’t recognise 3-year degrees(most US universities don’t) and hence were offering me to enrol in their undergrad program(which I wasn't interested in).
This was a sure-fire choice for me, it’s not that difficult to get in and its not that expensive either. The only school(now, SCAD does too) I know of which offers a master’s degree(MFA) in visual effects. Academy of Art University, California (USA) Positives – High Profile, Great Reviews, Proximity to Hollywood.Ģ.
