STUDENT REVIEWS:
" The course provided me with my first exposure to 3ds max.
Over the period of 12 weeks, the sheer range of different projects kept me very
interested in the field and allowed me to gain a far more rounded view of the
industry. As a result, the reel that I produced at the end of the course was
very dynamic; potential employers have been very impressed with this showcase
of my flexibility and the range of animation techniques I am familiar with.
This reel has now led to the offer of a full-time position with a company specializing
in medical animation -- only a month after finishing the course! Overall, a
most highly-recommended course" DR. RAJEEV DOSHI (PhD. in Cancer Research;
flew in from London to take our course; currently working as an animation director
for a medical imaging studio in London)
