CAMPUS / ONLINE

SF Film School is a professional educational institution for visual graphics and 3D animation— it is the best graphic institution in South Korea with a long history.

You will smoothly progress in artistic skill and develop in a technical way by learning from our  skilled instructors who have a lot of practical experience and ability.The instructor in charge of you will answer your questions at anytime to maximize your skill progression.Our students have a high percentage of employment because the instructor in charge of them continuously advises them while working on their demo reels until they get employed.

SPECIALIZED

CG TRAINING PROGRAM

Hollywood movies and TV commercials are not made by just using one program.

SF Film School education is not just centered around Maya but around visual effects and realistic compositing.

VISUAL EFFECTS

In filmmaking, visual effects (VFX) is the creation of any on-screen imagery that does not exist in real life. VFX allows filmmakers to create environments, objects, creatures, and even people that would otherwise be impractical or impossible to film in a live-action shot. VFX in film frequently involves the integration of live-action footage with computer-generated imagery (CGI).

3D ANIMATION

In 3D animation, objects can be moved and rotated as an object in the real life would. Computer animation often use 3D animation to bring two dimensional models into three dimensions environment. 3D animation is used in various industries such as gaming , marketing, and medicine.

GAMES

A game artist is an artist who is in charge of visual art in multiple types of games. Game artists play a vital role in the game production and they are often credited in role-playing games, collectible card games, and video games.

FX DYNAMICS AND SIMULATION

Cho_Minji_-_The_pursuit_of_Carrot_edited_edited.png

An FX artist creates the visual effects in movies, TV shows and games. They are responsible for creating smoke, fire, destruction, water,

as well as smaller effects such as objects colliding or liquid simulations

in a glass.

3D MOTION GRAPHIC

shinhyebin237_pf_01.jpg

3D Motion Graphics are conjunctions of animations or a digital footage that are usually combined with audio for multimedia projects.

REAL CHARACTER

FX

DYNAMICS AND SIMULATION

FX artists are essential in today’s entertainment business as most films,

TV shows and games require digital effects.

They are responsible for creating smoke, fire, destruction, water, objects colliding and liquid simulations.

The goal of an FX artist is to create seamless effects so the audience does not realize that they are computer-generated. This can take countless hours of research into real-life phenomena, watching reference videos, and even building new developing tools.
