I enrolled in this academy rather quickly after deciding to study abroad. Having already worked professionally in the game industry, I became increasingly interested in film production as well and wanted to explore it more seriously before leaving for my studies overseas.

Looking back, it was a truly meaningful experience. Since many of my classmates were younger than I was, there were moments when I wondered if I had started this journey a little later than most. However, seeing how hard everyone worked was incredibly motivating, and I learned a great deal not only from the instructors but also from my fellow students.

The knowledge and skills I gained throughout the program have given me a stronger foundation, and I believe they will be extremely helpful as I adapt to life and continue my studies abroad. I’m grateful for the opportunity to learn in such a positive and inspiring environment.

It still doesn’t feel real that the Maya course has already come to an end.

At the beginning, even learning simple shortcuts was difficult for me, but as the lessons continued, I could clearly feel my skills gradually improving, which was very rewarding.

While attending the academy, I was able to experience workflows that I had previously only seen on YouTube, and I felt myself getting closer to my dream little by little. Studying alongside classmates also helped me a lot—through their questions and the instructors’ detailed explanations, I was able to learn things I would not have thought of on my own.

Although I still need a lot of practice and experience, I no longer feel as anxious about the future as I did before. If I had to choose one meaningful experience from 2022, I would say it was attending this Maya course.

What I once thought would be a long six months passed by surprisingly quickly, and while I feel relieved, I also regret not having practiced even more.

I will continue practicing what I have learned and work hard to create a strong portfolio. Thank you to all the instructors and classmates who were part of this journey.

The time I spent in this course felt both short and long, but it passed by quickly. I was fortunate to have a highly skilled instructor, but I still feel a great sense of regret that I couldn’t keep up with the pace of the classes as well as I wanted to.

During the early modeling classes, I studied with a lot of passion, but as the difficulty increased, I gradually became less motivated and more lazy, which I now see as my own shortcoming. Looking back, I feel regretful about losing my motivation and becoming passive.

Although I started with the vague goal of getting a job and building a portfolio, I was able to experience the joy of learning new things throughout the course. At times, I also faced great difficulties and moments where I wanted to give up.

Even though the time was not nearly enough to fully master all the functions of the software, and I feel overwhelmed with regret for not putting in enough effort, I have decided to gather my determination once again and take a step forward.

While everyone is working hard toward the same goal of employment and a strong portfolio, I plan to set my own goals and continue steadily filling in my 부족한 areas, even if progress is slow, without giving up.

I am grateful to the instructor who worked hard to teach us, and I hope all my classmates who struggled through the course achieve great results.

Before joining the academy, I had already learned a small amount of Maya, but going through the course again from the fundamentals helped me build a much more accurate and solid understanding.

The instructor explained everything clearly and kindly during class, and being able to practice at home based on what I learned helped reinforce my understanding through repetition. Whenever I encountered something I couldn’t figure out on my own, the instructor would immediately come over and guide me through it, which was extremely helpful.

Even when I struggled while working on assignments at home, I was able to resolve most issues by asking questions directly and receiving detailed, supportive feedback.

Overall, it was a very meaningful experience that allowed me to strengthen my foundation and improve steadily through both instruction and practice.

I will look back on my time in the Maya class with good memories. I believe that the first experience with any job or field is very important, and I’m truly grateful that this unfamiliar subject was introduced in such an engaging and interesting way.

Thanks to this course, I found myself wanting to learn more again after a long time, which made the experience even more meaningful. If I have any questions about Maya in the future, I will not hesitate to reach out. Thank you, and please take care!

Working in Maya felt a lot like assembling a puzzle of my own creation. Using various objects, tools, and techniques to gradually build something from nothing was a completely new experience for me, especially since my background had been focused primarily on 2D art.

The process of creating models, shaping environments, and eventually bringing them to life through animation was both fascinating and rewarding. I often found myself becoming so immersed in the work that I lost track of time. Discovering how ideas could evolve from simple concepts into moving, animated scenes made the learning experience even more exciting.

Another reason I was able to enjoy the course so much was the way my instructor guided us through each stage of the process. Every concept was explained clearly and patiently, making even unfamiliar topics easier to understand and helping me stay focused and engaged throughout the program.

I am sincerely grateful for all the time, effort, and encouragement that went into teaching me over the course of these months. Thank you for helping me take my first steps into the world of 3D and for making the experience such a memorable one.

I feel like I met a great mentor, so I’m no longer afraid of the future.

During the course, there were parts that suited me well and parts that didn’t, but the instructor helped guide me in a way that kept my interest alive, allowing me to successfully complete the curriculum.

I was worried about whether I could study Maya while working full-time, and although I didn’t have much time, I still managed to make it work.

It still feels amazing that I can now handle a 3D program I had never touched before, and I feel proud of myself.

I would like to thank the instructor again, and also my classmates from cohort 436.

The course provided a well-structured learning experience, covering everything from the fundamentals of Maya to more advanced techniques step by step. Because of this approach, I believe that even complete beginners can achieve strong results as long as they are willing to put in the effort and maintain their passion for learning.

One of the most rewarding aspects of the program was learning how to create high-quality, realistic visuals through V-Ray rendering and Substance 3D Painter texturing. Being able to produce renders that closely resemble real-world imagery was an exciting experience and gave me a much deeper appreciation for the possibilities of CG production.

Throughout the course, I was able to develop both technical skills and a better understanding of the overall workflow involved in creating professional-quality work. I am truly grateful for all the guidance, support, and encouragement provided by my instructor during the Maya program.

Thank you for your dedication and for leading us through this learning journey with such enthusiasm.

The 3D course initially felt very overwhelming, as it covered many complex and specialized areas such as modeling, lighting, rigging, animation, and texturing. At first, I constantly worried about whether I would be able to keep up, and I also struggled with figuring out which direction or specialization would suit me best.

Although I had many questions and there were numerous areas where I lacked understanding, the instructors patiently guided me step by step, which allowed me to successfully complete the course. Through continuous effort, I also began to gain confidence and feel that I could truly improve if I kept practicing.

In addition, during the course we prepared and presented storyboards, and the feedback I received from the instructor after my presentation was extremely helpful in clarifying my direction and helping me decide what I want to focus on moving forward.

What once felt uncertain and vague gradually became much clearer, and looking back at when I first started Maya, I can genuinely feel how much I have improved. That realization has been very rewarding and fulfilling.

Through this course, I was able to reflect on what I want to create and what direction I want to pursue. I also went through some slump phases and had time to face reality.

While taking classes with the instructor, I even had moments where I thought, “I’m just a rock, I need to keep rolling harder and keep improving!”

I had never really imagined learning from a teacher as an adult, so meeting a real mentor like this was very moving, and it made me realize that learning can actually be enjoyable.

It still doesn’t feel real that the course has ended. I feel like this graduation is just the beginning of wanting to learn more and be more curious.

Thank you for everything.

Throughout the program, I really appreciated how kind, approachable, and supportive all of the instructors were.

Before joining the academy, I had imagined a very traditional classroom environment—sitting in a rigid lecture hall, watching a screen at the front of the room alongside dozens of other students, with very little opportunity for interaction or communication. Fortunately, the reality was completely different.

The classes were conducted in a much more welcoming and engaging atmosphere. Because the class sizes were relatively small, it was easy to ask questions, receive personalized feedback, and interact naturally with both the instructors and fellow students. The friendly and encouraging environment made the learning experience much more enjoyable and helped me feel comfortable throughout the course.

I’m truly grateful to all of the instructors for creating such a positive atmosphere and for all the support they provided along the way.

It feels like only yesterday that I was learning the program’s interface in my very first class, but somehow time has flown by and I’ve already reached the final stage of the curriculum.

As with anything worthwhile, the skills and techniques we learned were not always easy at first. However, thanks to the instructors’ patient and step-by-step guidance, I was able to improve my abilities significantly throughout the course. I am sincerely grateful to all of the instructors who helped me take several meaningful steps closer to my dream of becoming an Asset Artist and, ultimately, a VFX Supervisor.

I will continue to work hard on personal projects and portfolio development so that the knowledge and guidance I received from my instructors will not go to waste. My goal is to become an even better artist through continuous learning and practice.

I would also like to thank all of my classmates in Class 457 for their hard work. I hope everyone creates outstanding portfolios, achieves their goals, and that we can meet again in the future as even better artists and professionals.

I joined SF Film School with the dream of becoming a CG artist, and now the course has already come to an end. I was able to learn a lot throughout the program, and it was also a very enjoyable experience.

During the Maya class, I learned much more detailed and in-depth content than I had expected. The instructor didn’t only focus on basic modeling, but also guided us through various other areas, which helped me explore and better understand different career paths.

I have now entered the portfolio course, and I will do my best to apply everything I’ve learned to create strong work and aim for a good job opportunity. Thank you very much!

The instructors at the academy were both highly knowledgeable and approachable, always providing clear and professional explanations throughout the course. The curriculum was well-structured and organized, making it easier to learn Maya step by step through a combination of examples, practical exercises, and hands-on projects.

In addition to the regular classes, I also appreciated the opportunities to connect with industry professionals through online seminars and special events. These experiences provided valuable insight into the CG industry and helped broaden my understanding of potential career paths and professional workflows.

Overall, I was very satisfied with both the educational program and the quality of instruction provided by the academy. The course not only helped me develop technical skills in Maya but also gave me a better understanding of the industry as a whole. It was a rewarding and valuable experience.

Learning Maya and ZBrush together was an incredibly rewarding experience. Whenever I encountered difficulties or had questions, the instructors were always welcoming and willing to help. They took the time to explain everything clearly and patiently, step by step, which allowed me to keep up with the lessons and enjoy the learning process even as a complete beginner.

Of course, there were challenging moments along the way, but the instructors were always there to support me. Beyond teaching the software itself, they were also willing to provide career advice and guidance whenever I needed it. Because of that, going to the academy never felt like a burden—it was something I genuinely looked forward to.

While personal motivation and dedication are important, I believe one of the biggest reasons I was able to complete the program was the encouragement and support I received from the instructors. They continuously helped students stay motivated and never gave up on us, even when we struggled.

Looking back, I feel proud of what I've accomplished and deeply grateful for all the support, guidance, and encouragement I received throughout the course.

SF Film School was where I was first introduced to this field. At the beginning, everything felt unfamiliar, and even now I know there is still a great deal left for me to learn. However, being able to gain an overall understanding of the industry and its workflows has made this experience incredibly valuable.

Recently, I also began learning ZBrush, which has introduced me to another exciting side of CG and given me a new source of enjoyment. In addition, the various seminars hosted by the academy have allowed me to explore many other software packages and areas of the industry. Even when I am not directly studying a particular tool, these opportunities to observe and learn from professionals have helped broaden my perspective and deepen my understanding of the field.

Although the road ahead still seems long, I believe that the skills, knowledge, and experiences I have gained at SF Film School will continue to help me as I move forward. Equally important are the relationships I have built with my classmates and fellow students, whose support and shared experiences have made this journey even more meaningful.

I am sincerely grateful for everything I have learned and experienced throughout the program. Thank you.

Looking back, all of the worries I had before starting the course seem unnecessary now. Thanks to the instructor’s engaging teaching style and the comfortable atmosphere in class, I was able to complete the program successfully and enjoy every step of the journey.

At first, the course felt like it would be a very long journey, but once I started learning, it became so enjoyable that it’s hard to believe it’s already coming to an end. In fact, I’m a little sad that it’s over so soon!

The instructor explained many unfamiliar tools and features in such a clear and easy-to-understand way that I almost started to think Maya wasn’t a complicated software at all. 😊 The balance between lectures and hands-on practice was especially effective, allowing me to retain what I learned and better understand the concepts even after class.

I’m also very grateful that, no matter how basic my questions seemed, the instructor always took the time to demonstrate things directly and explain everything patiently and kindly.

Thank you so much for all your guidance and support throughout the course!

When I started the MAYA class, I had a lot of worries and fears, but thanks to the teacher’s witty lessons, abundant teachings, and studying with my classmates, it was a time when I could develop and grow a lot. I will refine what I’ve learned so far and make an effort to get a job at the place I want. Thank you to the teacher and my classmates for all your hard work!

When I first started the course, I knew absolutely nothing about Maya, but throughout the program I was able to learn a tremendous amount and build a strong foundation.

I especially enjoyed the seminars that were offered throughout the course. The content was informative, practical, and added a lot of value to the overall learning experience. I believe this program is an excellent choice for anyone looking to build a solid understanding of Maya from the ground up.

Overall, it was a very rewarding experience, and I’m grateful for everything I learned along the way.

I applied to SF Film School with a vague desire to pursue CG, and the course that began in March has already come to an end. It was a program that allowed me to learn from the basics, and I found it helpful that I was able to learn in a relatively clear and efficient way.

I am currently working on my portfolio, and I will continue to put in my best effort so that I can be rewarded for the time and dedication I have invested.
