At first, Maya felt completely unfamiliar to me, and to be honest, I wasnโ€™t very confident using it.
My goal was simple โ€” even if I couldnโ€™t master it right away, I wanted to at least believe, โ€œIf I keep trying, Iโ€™ll get there.โ€
Thanks to the instructorโ€™s patient and detailed guidance, I ended up learning far more than I expected.
Iโ€™ll keep practicing and applying what Iโ€™ve learned to build a portfolio Iโ€™m proud of and land a job. Thank you!

Youโ€™ve worked so hard โ€” coming to class after a long day of work is no easy task!
It was inspiring to see your determination to show up and give your best, even when it wasnโ€™t easy.
If you keep putting in this level of effort, I truly believe good results will always follow.
Letโ€™s push through the rest of the course together and finish strong with an amazing portfolio. Youโ€™ve got this!

When I first joined the class, even pressing Q, W, E, R keys felt awkward, and I was honestly worried because everything seemed so difficult.
But thanks to the instructorโ€™s clear explanations and willingness to answer every question, I was gradually able to adapt to Maya.
The structured curriculum made the learning process so much easier and more enjoyable.
Thank you for the great guidance!

You were quiet during class, so I was a little worried at first โ€”
but I really appreciate how well you kept up and followed along.
Letโ€™s keep pushing through the rest of the course and create an amazing final video together!
In CG, those who stay in their seats the longest are the ones who win โ€” so stay strong and keep going until the end!

While learning Maya, I realized that modeling everyday objects was much more challenging than I had imagined. However, the process of experimenting and gradually shaping each form was incredibly fun and rewarding.
As I continued studying, I began to see things differently โ€” thinking, โ€œThis object could start from a cylinder,โ€ and approaching modeling more creatively.
Although Iโ€™m still learning, my goal is to keep improving until I can create a portfolio that truly makes people say โ€œWow!โ€ and see my name credited as a creator one day.
Until that day comes โ€” letโ€™s keep pushing forward! And special thanks to my instructor for their patience and amazing guidance.

There are still many challenging parts, but remember โ€” finishing the Maya course is just the beginning.
Keep reviewing what youโ€™ve learned so it stays with you, and push through until the end.
Letโ€™s finish strong, create an amazing final reel, and make that dream job happen!

When I decided to pursue a career in CG, I immediately joined SF Film School โ€” and it turned out to be one of the best decisions Iโ€™ve ever made.
At SFFS, students can experience nearly every aspect of CG โ€” from modeling and rendering to animation โ€” which makes it the perfect place for those still exploring which path to take.
Even when theory-heavy lessons could have felt dull, the instructorsโ€™ engaging teaching style and energy made every class enjoyable.
They were always ready to answer questions clearly and patiently, and thatโ€™s when I realized I was truly learning from professionals.
With such high-quality instruction, itโ€™s easy to see why so many students from this school go on to successful careers.
Iโ€™ll keep giving my best to complete a portfolio that both my instructors and I can be proud of. Thank you!

Joining SF Film School was truly a great decision!
I still remember how focused and enthusiastic you were during every class.
Keep believing in yourself โ€” just like your senior students, you have the talent and determination to achieve amazing things.
Great work so far, and best of luck on your next steps. Youโ€™ve got this!

I started this journey with only a simple interest in 3D, and now Iโ€™ve finally reached the end of the course.
At first, I was afraid โ€” I wasnโ€™t sure if I could do well. But thanks to my instructorโ€™s patient and detailed explanations, I was able to make steady progress.
Even when I was too shy to ask questions, my instructor kindly reached out first and helped me overcome the parts I struggled with โ€” something Iโ€™m truly grateful for.
It may have been a short period for some, but for me, it was a meaningful time of growth and challenge.
Thank you so much to all the SF Film School instructors who guided me along the way.

Great job, Hyun-gyeom!
I know this field can feel intimidating at first, but your passion and persistence really shone through.
You worked hard through every stage of the program, and that effort truly paid off.
Keep asking questions, keep challenging yourself, and youโ€™ll continue to grow into a remarkable CG artist.
Well done, and keep going strong!

I really appreciated that SF Film School offers not only classes, but also professional seminars and masterclasses led by active industry experts.
When I first started learning Maya, I was worried it might be difficult, but it turned out to be easier to understand than expected, and my skills improved quickly.
Since this was my first time in the field, I wasnโ€™t sure what I was good at or interested in, but through assignments and discussions with my instructor, I discovered my own strengths and direction.
This experience has been incredibly valuable, and Iโ€™ll continue to build on it as I move forward. Thank you so much!

Jusung, you did a fantastic job! You were always passionate and dedicated in every class.
I really enjoyed teaching you โ€” your curiosity, thoughtful questions, and independent study habits stood out.
Keep that energy going and youโ€™ll do great things in the CG industry.
Best of luck on your career journey โ€” Iโ€™m sure youโ€™ll achieve everything you aim for!

I really enjoyed being able to learn a wide range of skills in the CG fieldโ€”from basic Maya, to modeling, rendering, texturing, rigging, and animation. As I learned each area step by step, I was able to discover what suited me and what didnโ€™t. During class, we had hands-on practice time, so whenever I got stuck or didnโ€™t understand something, I could ask right away, which was very helpful. The instructors were also kind and explained everything clearly.

In addition, I appreciated being able to attend various seminars and master classes that were essential for CG. When I move on to the portfolio class, Iโ€™ll do my best while keeping everything I learned in mind. Thank you for teaching me so well throughout the course.

Seong-gwon, great jobโ€”really! It was always reassuring to see how actively you participated in class. As you mentioned, I truly hope youโ€™ve found the field that suits you best. Please continue to do well in the remaining classes, and once you enter the portfolio course, make sure to come find me and ask lots of questions again! Also, take good care of your cohort members later on.
Iโ€™m looking forward to seeing your personal project!!
You worked hard โ€” well done!

During my Maya course, I really appreciated how thoroughly and carefully the instructor taught us. I had taken a short, workshop-style Maya class at another academy before, but compared to that experience, I genuinely felt that the instructor here explained everything step by step and in much greater detail.

In addition to the class materials, the instructor also shared helpful reference images and videos, which really supported my learning. The Q&A sessions and feedback were also explained in a way that was easy to understand, making it much easier to fix the parts I had previously struggled with.

Thank you so much for all your hard work throughout the course โ€” I truly appreciate it.

Thank you so much for your dedication โ€” you really didnโ€™t miss a single day of class, and I truly appreciate that. You worked hard throughout the entire Maya course. There were difficult parts, of course, but you kept up so well, and in the areas you were good at, you pushed yourself even more. Honestly, teaching you gave me a lot of energy as well. I think thatโ€™s why I was able to teach you with even more enthusiasm.

Keep putting in the same effort, and Iโ€™ll always be cheering for you to create amazing work in the portfolio class!

The Maya course has finally come to an end! Even though I barely had time to breathe while juggling both school and a part-time job, I genuinely enjoyed the classes because it was a field I had always wanted to learn. One thing Iโ€™m a bit sad about is that I didnโ€™t get to become closer with my classmates โ€” especially toward the end, when I had to attend the classes online and didnโ€™t really have a chance to connect. Still, it was truly an enjoyable experience overall!

Thank you so much to the instructor for teaching us so diligently, and I hope we can continue working on fun projects together in the portfolio class as well!

You must have had a tough time balancing work and classes, so thank you for all the effort you put in. Many of your classmates will be moving up to the portfolio course as well, so letโ€™s get even closer and have fun creating great portfolio projects together! Iโ€™ll be cheering you on so you can finish everything successfully from here on out!!

Since it was my first time using Maya, I worried a lot about whether I would be able to keep up. But the curriculum was extremely well-organized, and the instructor taught every step thoroughly, so learning felt smooth and manageable. Whenever I didnโ€™t understand something, the instructor even took extra time outside of class to help, which allowed me to learn without feeling lost at all.

I truly enjoyed the entire course. Thank you so much!

I really enjoyed seeing how dedicated you wereโ€”attending classes diligently, studying hard, and working tirelessly at the academy. If you keep going just the way you are now, Iโ€™m sure youโ€™ll create amazing work!

I also truly enjoyed teaching you throughout the course. Thereโ€™s nothing more fun and rewarding for an instructor than teaching hardworking students.
Wishing you the best of luck in the portfolio class as well!!!

Lee Ye-won

SF Film student portrait

I really liked how we learned Maya step by step โ€” from modeling to texturing, lighting, rigging, and animation โ€” in a clear and structured order! The hands-on practice we had throughout the course was especially helpful, as I could try things myself and keep asking questions whenever I didnโ€™t understand something. Those moments were truly valuable for me.

I still canโ€™t believe time passed so quickly and Iโ€™m already writing my course review โ€” it feels unreal and a bit bittersweet. But based on everything Iโ€™ve learned, Iโ€™ll work even harder as I move on to the portfolio class and do my best to prepare for whatโ€™s ahead.

Thank you so much for teaching us so well!

โ€œIโ€™m really glad to hear that you found the class helpful! You always showed up and participated so actively that, as an instructor, I actually gained a lot of energy from you โ€” it made me want to teach even harder. Time really flew by. Iโ€™ve always known how dedicated you are, so I have no doubt that youโ€™ll do a great job creating your portfolio. Iโ€™m not worried at all.

If you ever run into anything difficult, Iโ€™ll always be here to help, so keep pushing until your portfolio is complete. Youโ€™ve got this!โ€

While learning Maya, I gained an understanding of its wide range of features as well as the dedication and effort required for video production. Maya has countless functions, and it was challenging at first because I had to learn not only the tools but also the terminology and underlying principles behind everything I touched. Getting used to a program full of English terms was definitely intimidating in the beginning.

However, as I continued learningโ€”adding textures, unwrapping UVs, adjusting lighting, rigging, animating, and exploring even more featuresโ€”I realized that I really needed to become familiar with Maya. I appreciated how the instructor not only demonstrated how each tool works but also explained the principles behind them, such as the theory of camera lighting control. Whenever necessary, the instructor provided detailed explanations of related concepts, which was extremely helpful.

Through the hands-on practice, I came to understand just how much dedication is required to create something in Maya. Since then, whenever I see things like wooden warships in historical dramas or robots in sci-fi filmsโ€”objects I used to overlookโ€”I now think, โ€œSomeone modeled every little detail, unwrapped the UVs, added texturesโ€ฆ all piece by piece.โ€ It has completely changed the way I view these works.

You worked hard studying. Itโ€™s completely understandable that it felt difficult at first, but Iโ€™m glad to hear you gradually adjusted. And yes โ€” once you start learning, you begin to notice things you used to overlook. Since Maya is the main tool in this field, thereโ€™s a lot to learn and even more to keep studying as you go, so it can definitely feel overwhelming. But the reward is that youโ€™ll be able to create amazing visuals because of it. Keep pushing forward, and Iโ€™ll be cheering for you to grow into a great artist!

Lee Hyun-ho

I was able to learn everything in detailโ€”from the basic Maya manual to modeling, lighting, and riggingโ€”and because the class was conducted with a small number of students, it created an environment where I could focus even better. Since we covered all the fundamental areas of Maya, I now plan to study the parts Iโ€™m weaker in more thoroughly as I prepare for my portfolio.

Mikyung! You worked so hard balancing both your job and the academy. Watching you gradually adapt to the program makes me really excited for how much youโ€™ll continue to grow! I hope you finish the remaining classes smoothly, and as you go on to learn even more, continue building your skills step by step just like youโ€™re doing now.

Youโ€™ve done such a great job, and if you ever have any questions, feel free to contact me anytime!

The VFX training I received in Korea exceeded my expectations. The instructor was extremely attentive and helpful, always answering my questions and providing continuous support. Throughout the course, I worked on high-quality computers, which greatly enhanced my learning experience. I also formed meaningful and valuable friendships during the program.

As someone who came from Tรผrkiye, this was truly an amazing experience. The course content and overall atmosphere were excellent, and I genuinely loved the program. I highly recommend this course to everyone!

Yusa!! Watching you study with such passion in a foreign country made me think youโ€™re truly amazing! At first, your Korean was quite limited, but now you chat and joke with your classmates in Korean so naturally โ€” itโ€™s wonderful to see. I taught you with the mindset of representing Korea, and seeing you finish the course well makes me really proud.

Keep up the great work and complete your portfolio just as strongly. Iโ€™ll be cheering for you to succeed proudly as a student of SF Film School!

Creating work on an entirely different level was a major challenge for me. I used to feel intimidated by the idea of moving beyond 2D and 2.5D. But once I started attending the academy, much of that fear disappeared. Contrary to my expectations that it would be very difficult, the step-by-step teaching made it easy and quick to learn.

Woojin, youโ€™ve worked so hard! Iโ€™m really proud to hear that my class was helpful to you. Maya requires a lot of study and exploration, so youโ€™ll need plenty of resources, practice, and experimentation moving forward. Donโ€™t rush โ€” as you apply the skills you need now, all of that will build up and eventually become your own valuable asset. If you keep working as diligently as you do now, youโ€™ll definitely grow into an amazing artist!
Letโ€™s keep pushing forward together!

I am majoring in film and video, but I began to feel that what I was learning at school wasnโ€™t enough. While searching for additional training, I came across SF Film School. During the Maya classes, the instructor explained even the smallest details of the program, which allowed me to approach the software with a completely fresh mindset. Thanks to that, I was able to strengthen my fundamentals much more solidly.

Taking the course also helped me understand which areas Iโ€™m more interested in and which areas I still need to improve. Iโ€™m truly grateful to the instructor for paying attention to every little detail and guiding me throughout the process.

Seoyoon! I really loved seeing how hard you always tried to stay focused and how much effort you put into your workโ€”the results truly showed. Even though you were busy, you rearranged your schedule to attend class, and I was genuinely grateful for that.
I hope you continue to work just as hard in the portfolio class and create an amazing piece. Letโ€™s do our best together!

I was looking for a place to learn Maya and became very impressed after seeing the portfolios created by students from SF Film School. Thatโ€™s what led me to enroll in the program here. The instructors are kind and teach very well, and the curriculum is diverse, making this a great learning environment for anyone aspiring to become a 3D artist.

Chaeeun, youโ€™ve worked so hard throughout the course.
I still remember how you would persistently dig into anything you didnโ€™t fully understand until you solved it. If you keep that mindset and continue moving forward the same way, I truly believe youโ€™ll achieve the dream youโ€™re aiming for. In this field, consistency and determination are everything.

If you ever have questions or run into something you donโ€™t know, please feel free to ask anytime. Iโ€™ll always be here to help you.
Good luck with the rest of the classesโ€”letโ€™s keep doing our best together!

The biggest strength of SF Film School is that even complete beginners with no prior experience can follow along perfectly.
When I first decided to attend an academy, my biggest concern was, โ€˜Can someone like me, with absolutely no base knowledge, really understand and keep up with the lessons?โ€™ Because if I couldnโ€™t, there would be no point in attending at all.

At SF Film School, the instructors teach everything from the basic interface step by step, and the pace is neither too fast nor too slow. I was genuinely satisfied with that. I was extremely nervous right before my first class, but after the very first lesson, I felt so relievedโ€”almost all of my worries disappeared. Beginners really donโ€™t need to feel intimidated at all.

I also liked that the classes are small, so during practice time, the instructor goes around and checks each studentโ€™s work. Whenever I had questions or didnโ€™t understand something, I could ask right away, and the instructor would explain it in a way that made everything clear. Thanks to that, even though Iโ€™m not a major in this field, I never had trouble keeping up. The teacher was always kind, no matter how many questions I asked, and even when I got stuck while studying at home, I could message for help and get answers quickly.

Another huge factor for me was the portfolio quality of students who previously went through SF Film Schoolโ€”and how those portfolios have won numerous awards in different competitions. I donโ€™t think thereโ€™s a better proof of quality than that. Even if you search โ€˜SF Film School Portfolioโ€™ on YouTube, youโ€™ll find so many incredibly high-quality works. Seeing that made me feel even more inspired, because it made me believe that I could eventually create that level of work too.

Minji, youโ€™ve worked so hard throughout the course! Hearing such kind words from you honestly makes me a little shy. Thank you so much for always keeping up with the lessons and putting so much effort into your assignments. I know it must have been difficult commuting such a long distance, and you truly did an amazing job.

Despite being a non-major, you followed the classes so well, and the sense of creativity and style you showed in your work was really impressive. Thatโ€™s why Iโ€™m genuinely excited to see the projects youโ€™ll create in the future. The concept and story you presented during your storyboard session were also very memorable.

Letโ€™s finish the remaining Nuke classes strong and work toward completing an amazing final piece! Youโ€™ve got thisโ€”fighting!

I first became interested in video while exploring the CG field, but I had almost given up because there werenโ€™t many places where I could learn it properly. Then I found this school and decided to start studying here. Since it was my first time using these programs, it was difficult at first, but the instructor explained everything clearly and guided me well, which made the learning experience very positive.

Seungwoo, thank you for all your hard work. You always followed the lessons carefully and answered questions well, which really encouraged me as I was teaching. Iโ€™ll always remember how you greeted me cheerfully and worked so diligently in class.

Letโ€™s do our best to finish your portfolio well so you can achieve your final goal.

I wanted to learn CG, so I started looking for academies and eventually discovered SF Film School. After a consultation, I decided to enroll. Although most of the programs were completely new to me, the instructor taught everything from the basics in a clear and easy-to-understand way. I also appreciated having practice time during class, where I could ask questions right away whenever I got stuck.

Before registering, I wasnโ€™t sure which field I wanted to pursue for employment, but throughout the course, things became much clearer. It wasnโ€™t a short program, but realizing that itโ€™s already over makes me feel like time passed incredibly fast. Iโ€™m truly grateful to the instructor for all the help.

Jisoo, you were truly one of the most dedicated students in the class. You always picked things up quicklyโ€”sometimes after hearing something just onceโ€”and you consistently produced great results on your own. You have no idea how excited I am to see the work youโ€™ll create in the future. I was amazed more than once by the sense of style and creativity you showed, even in the smaller assignments.

Iโ€™m really glad to hear that your career goals have become clearer as well. No matter which field you choose, Iโ€™m sure youโ€™ll do an incredible job. Letโ€™s finish the remaining classes strong and create an amazing portfolio that will lead you to a great job. Iโ€™ll always be here to support you and cheer you on!

The instructor always taught with great passion and sincerely helped me whenever I had questions, which was a huge help. Since it was my first time studying 3D, I had a lot of expectations as well as worries, but I feel that I learned very well.

Thereโ€™s still the big challenge of creating my portfolio ahead of me, but I believe that if I keep learning and stay committed to the work, good results will come. As with any academy, I think your own determination matters the most. As long as youโ€™re willing to put in the effort, the instructors here will support you fully, so you donโ€™t need to worry about whether you can keep up.

Wishing the best of luck to everyone pursuing a career in the 3D fieldโ€”fighting!

Seokho, I know it couldnโ€™t have been an easy decision to start CG, a field completely different from what you were doing before. But you always followed the lessons with dedication, and I truly appreciate all the hard work you put in.

The way you kept digging into anything unclear until you fully understood it will become a huge strength for youโ€”not only when creating your portfolio, but later on in the industry as well. As you said, the portfolio stage is still ahead, but I believe youโ€™ll handle it much better than all the worries youโ€™ve had up to now. With your determination, Iโ€™m certain youโ€™ll do an amazing job.

We at the academy will continue supporting you so that your goals and dreams can be achieved. Youโ€™ve got this!

โ€œItโ€™s been quite a while since I started learning Maya, and even though it feels like Iโ€™ve only just finished the basics, which can be overwhelming, Iโ€™m also excited to think about how much more Iโ€™ll learn and what amazing work Iโ€™ll be able to create from here on. What I appreciated most in the classes was going through each menu tab step by stepโ€”it really helped me understand the properties behind every function more clearly.

When I first started, I had no idea what kind of specialist I wanted to become or what kind of portfolio I needed to build for that path. But thanks to the seminars and graduation presentations offered at the academy, I was able to gain a clearer sense of direction. Iโ€™m truly grateful to the instructor and the assistant teacher for guiding me throughout the course. Iโ€™ll continue working hard in the portfolio class so I can show you great results!

Hyeryeong, you always worked so hardโ€ฆ Even though you often looked tired from balancing work and class, you still followed the lessons so well, and I was really proud to see that! You always asked good questions too, and it naturally made me think, โ€˜This student is going to do well.โ€™
Thatโ€™s why Iโ€™m genuinely excited to see what youโ€™ll create in the portfolio class!

I know you were quite unsure about your career direction when you first came, but Iโ€™m really glad to hear that the things you learned at the academy helped you sort through those thoughts. Iโ€™ll be looking forward to seeing great results from you!

The Maya classes were structured in a way that maintained a high level of professionalism while still being easy to understand, and the instructor helped ensure that even non-majors could follow along comfortably. The academyโ€™s systematic curriculum allowed my skills to improve step by step, and through hands-on practice and assignments, I was able to effectively learn techniques that are essential in actual production.

Another great advantage was the smooth communication with the instructor, which allowed me to receive clear feedback and answers whenever I had questions.

Youโ€™ve worked so hardโ€”balancing work and class must have been really tough, but you still finished everything so well! I always tried to help so that things would be easier for you to understand, and Iโ€™m glad to hear it was helpful.
Letโ€™s keep communicating smoothly in the portfolio class too and create a great project together!

Iโ€™ll make sure to give you even more feedback!

It was truly a great stroke of luck that, while searching online with only a vague desire to study CG, I came across SF Film School and met you as my instructor. As I worked with various functions in Maya, I encountered many difficulties. I often wondered what each feature was used for and why it needed to be applied in certain situations. Fortunately, you always provided clear explanations along with appropriate examples, which helped me understand these concepts much more deeply.

Throughout the courseโ€”which was not a short oneโ€”I gained a great deal of experience and knowledge thanks to your guidance, and it made me eager to learn even more. There is still much I need to study, but I will continue to work hard and build upon everything you have taught me so that I can achieve meaningful results and become a VFX designer.

Thank you sincerely for everything.

Yechan, youโ€™ve really worked hard! Studying while working is never easy, but thank you for keeping up so well.
This is truly just the beginningโ€”now that youโ€™ve finished the basics, letโ€™s move on to your portfolio and create an awesome piece together. Keep putting in the effort for the remaining classes too!

Letโ€™s stay strong until the very endโ€”fighting!

When I first started learning Maya, even the basic controls felt unfamiliar, and the overwhelming number of functions left me completely lost.
But as I followed the course step by step, I gradually learned not only how to model, UV unwrap, light, and rig โ€” but also the theoretical foundations behind each process.
Now, I feel confident enough to model most everyday objects around me.
It was an incredibly valuable and insightful class. Thank you!

Changsoo, great job!
Iโ€™ll always remember how committed, focused, and hardworking you were throughout the entire class โ€” your consistency really stood out.
This is just the beginning of your journey, and there are still many programs and creative processes ahead to explore and master.
But if you keep showing the same passion, effort, and dedication, I have no doubt that youโ€™ll succeed at anything you set your mind to.
Donโ€™t give up, stay strong, and letโ€™s keep pushing forward together until the very end. Youโ€™ve got this, and Iโ€™m cheering for you all the way!

I started with no knowledge of 3D, so I was really worried at first.
But through the classes, I was able to learn so much!
Thanks to the instructorโ€™s thorough teaching and thoughtful answers to all my questions, I was able to let go of many of those initial worries.
I still have a lot to learn, but Iโ€™ll keep doing my best at SF Film School and work hard to become a great 3D animator. Thank you for your continued guidance!

Maya is not an easy program to learn, especially in the beginning โ€”
so I know this journey must have been really challenging at times.
But the fact that you made it all the way to the final class shows just how much effort and perseverance youโ€™ve put in, and thatโ€™s something to be proud of.
With this solid foundation, Iโ€™m confident that the next stages of learning will feel much more manageable and even enjoyable.
Still, always keep in mind โ€” this is just the beginning of your path as a creator.
Stay focused, keep pushing forward, and letโ€™s work together to build an amazing portfolio that truly reflects your growth and passion.
Youโ€™ve already come so far, and I believe youโ€™re more than capable of achieving great things. Keep it up!

Through the structured lessons at SF Film School, I was able to learn step by step and gain confidence in my skills.
Iโ€™ll continue to review what Iโ€™ve learned and keep improving to grow as a better artist in the future!

Ha-eun, great work!
Learning something new is never easy, but you followed the curriculum diligently and found the fun in it.
You did especially well during the motion capture session!
All of these moments will become valuable memories โ€” and when you start your career, I hope youโ€™ll look back on this time proudly and keep that same passion. Well done!

Iโ€™ve loved movies since I was young, which led me to major in film. While shooting films, I was fascinated by how CG could create scenes that are impossible to capture in real life.
When I discovered SF Film School and saw the incredible student portfolios, I knew this was the right place to learn properly.
At first, I struggled to keep up with the unfamiliar tools, but my instructor always guided me step by step and encouraged me through constant review sessions.
Their patience and clear explanations helped me truly understand the process, and I became much more comfortable with the software.
Now that Iโ€™ve completed the regular course, Iโ€™m eager to continue learning and create my own unique portfolio as I take the next step toward becoming a professional CG artist.
Iโ€™m deeply grateful to all the SF Film School instructors who supported me throughout this journey.

The beginning is always the hardest โ€” just like taking your first steps.
Watching you grow and improve through each class and assignment made me so proud!
Keep exploring new knowledge and finish your next project strong.
Letโ€™s get that amazing portfolio done and land your dream job. Great work, Na-young!

When I first started learning Maya, I was worried โ€” โ€œCan I really do this?โ€ and โ€œWill I be able to keep up with the class?โ€
But from the very first lesson, my instructor explained everything clearly and patiently, taking time to make sure I understood each step.
The fun and friendly atmosphere in class made learning enjoyable and never dull.
I also had the chance to discuss my career plans, and the instructor gave me realistic and thoughtful advice that helped me find my direction.
Every moment at SF Film School has been a meaningful learning experience. Thank you so much!

Minseo, great work! You worried more than you needed to โ€” you did an amazing job!
Your attitude and dedication throughout the course were truly impressive.
Keep that same passion and discipline as you move into the portfolio stage, and Iโ€™m sure youโ€™ll create incredible work and land your dream job soon.
Keep going strong โ€” youโ€™ve got this!

SF Film School is a place where you can truly learn a lot! I had many worries at first, but thanks to the kind instructors, I was able to adapt quickly. The classes are well-structured and felt meaningful every step of the way. I especially appreciated learning practical skills that can be applied directly to real-world work.
During class, the instructors explained every question in detail, making it easy to understand, and collaborating and communicating with my classmates was also one of the most memorable parts. Thanks to everything I learned at the academy, I feel that my skills have improved significantly. Thank you.

Jieun, you really worked hard! I personally think one of the biggest strengths of SF Film School is that you can learn everything from the absolute basics at a comfortable pace while quickly picking up the useful, frequently used functions. Just like you did during the Maya course, donโ€™t hesitate to ask whenever youโ€™re curious about something! Ask the people around you โ€” and Iโ€™ll be here to help as well, so feel free to reach out anytime~
Thank you for all your hard work throughout the class!

Since it was my first time studying CG, I worried a lot about whether it would be too difficult. And while it was challenging, the instructor explained everything in a way that made it much easier to understand. Most of all, the classes were so enjoyable that I often found myself smiling while studying โ€” it truly made the learning experience fun!

Iโ€™m also very grateful for the detailed help I received through KakaoTalk whenever I struggled with something on my own.
Iโ€™ll continue to work hard through the remaining courses as well!

Hyun-a, you worked so hard!! You left your previous job and completely shifted your career path to CG, but seeing your attitude and passion throughout the course, I have absolutely no worries about you at all, haha.
And you know Iโ€™m confident when it comes to explaining things clearly! So keep up that same enthusiasm and continue doing great in the remaining classes!
Wishing you the best of luck in the portfolio course as well!!
Great jobโ€”you really did well!

Before taking the Maya course, I had briefly used the program back in college, so I thought that once I got the hang of it again, I would be able to do well quickly. However, there was much more to learn than I expected, and with the structured lessons pouring so much information into my head, I hit a bit of a slump at one point. I realized that my skills were lacking, and honestly, my effort wasnโ€™t enough either โ€” so I now feel even more determined to work harder and make up for those shortcomings.

Thank you to our instructor for teaching us with such passion throughout the course! Your generous advice and encouraging words helped me complete the class successfully. Iโ€™ll make good use of all the invaluable knowledge you shared โ€” the kind of insights that truly โ€œstick to your bonesโ€ โ€” as I work on my portfolio, and Iโ€™ll keep striving upward together with my classmates.

Iโ€™m sure it must have been tough at first since the learning experience here is quite different from what you were used to at school. But you already have solid skills, so if you keep putting in the effort, youโ€™ll definitely achieve great results! Think of it as hitting your slump a bit early, and letโ€™s work hard in the portfolio class to create an amazing project.

I always wanted to teach you as much as I could, so hearing you say that really means a lot. Iโ€™ll continue supporting you all the way until you reach higher places โ€” letโ€™s keep going strong!

I would like to thank my instructor for patiently teaching me everything step by step, from Maya shortcuts to all the basic concepts, even though I knew almost nothing about computers. I still have a long way to go, but Iโ€™m finishing this Maya course with excitement and anticipation, thinking, โ€œMaybe I really can work with a 3D program on my own now!โ€

Iโ€™ll keep working hard and look forward to the day I can work as a professional in this field.
Thank you so much!

You worked really hard throughout the course. Hearing that you finished the Maya class with excitement and anticipation makes me truly proud! It must have been difficult balancing it with your job, but you pushed through all the way to the end โ€” great work. I hope the fundamentals you learned here will help you continue to grow and develop into an excellent artist. Iโ€™ll be cheering for you!

I appreciated how the course was structured to cover everything from the basics to advanced techniques in a systematic way, allowing students to acquire the practical knowledge needed in the industry. The classes were led by experienced instructors with strong professional backgrounds, and their real-world expertise greatly enriched the lessons.

Not only did we learn theory, but we also had hands-on practice through actual projects, which helped us become comfortable and proficient with Maya. Throughout the course, students received continuous support and feedback, which significantly enhanced the learning experience.

Through the community, students were able to connect, share experiences, and learn from one another. In addition, guest lectures from external professionals helped us build a global network of industry experts. Thanks to all these strengths, I believe the Maya program here was extremely helpful in developing the skills required for real-world production environments.

You worked really hard throughout the course. Iโ€™m glad to hear that you were satisfied with the academyโ€™s various programs and the curriculum! It must have been very challenging to balance your job and the academy, but you pushed through all the way to the end โ€” truly great work.

I hope the skills youโ€™ve learned here help you continue to grow, and Iโ€™ll be cheering for you as you develop into an even better artist!

As I finish the Maya course, I can say that it has been a meaningful time where I was able to learn many different areas such as modeling, texturing, rendering, and rigging. At first, I felt a bit of fear and worry, but thanks to the instructorโ€™s thorough feedback and passionate guidance, I was able to complete the course successfully.

Learning together with my classmates gave me precious and grateful moments, and throughout the process, I was able to discover which parts Iโ€™m most interested in and which areas I need to improve. I will do my best to finish the remaining stages well.

Thank you so much!

You worked hard, truly. It must have been challenging to learn so many different things, but you pushed through the fear and worries, and because you kept doing your best, I was able to teach you with the same level of dedication. Letโ€™s continue working hard through the remaining stages and finish strong together. And afterward, letโ€™s keep pushing toward your growth as a great artist! Youโ€™ve got this!

I was able to learn every step of the workflowโ€”from modeling to renderingโ€”in a structured and meaningful way, and by learning various features, I can now approach my work using multiple methods. At first, I felt overwhelmed and unsure about how to create a portfolio. But after completing the course, I feel confident that I can build a proper project on my own.

With everything Iโ€™ve learned so far, Iโ€™m sure Iโ€™ll be able to create a solid, polished portfolio in the portfolio class ahead!

Youโ€™ve worked so hard throughout the course!! Now letโ€™s take the skills youโ€™ve learned and create an amazing portfolio. You did such a great job while learning, so Iโ€™m really looking forward to seeing the portfolio youโ€™ll produce! There will still be plenty to study along the way, but keep going โ€” youโ€™ve got this. Iโ€™ll continue cheering for you and helping you until the very end!
Fighting!!!

As a non-major with almost no knowledge of computers, choosing SF Film School was definitely a great decision. The high quality of the classes and the skill level of my classmates created an environment where I was able to learn so much. Iโ€™m sure it must have been frustrating at times to teach someone like me, who knew nothing about computers, but Iโ€™m truly grateful to the instructor for always finding a way to help. Iโ€™m also very thankful to the classmates who studied alongside me.

Soo-eun, you followed along more than well enough. CG is like a marathon โ€” the ones who donโ€™t give up are the ones who ultimately reach the finish line. So donโ€™t worry about speed! Iโ€™m really looking forward to seeing where you go from here!

My time studying at the academy was both enjoyable and meaningful. Before this, I knew nothing about Maya or any other related programs. Sometimes the classes were very difficult, and other times they were easier than I expected. But the greatest lesson I learned here was how to prepare myself for new challenges.

Studying in a foreign country is never easy, and I truly think itโ€™s amazing how well youโ€™ve done. PIM! Your Korean is great, and the passion you showed in class really motivated me while teaching! I hope you finish your portfolio successfully here at SF Film School and go on to become a successful CG artist. Youโ€™ve worked so hard โ€” well done!

I was introduced to Maya for the first time at the academy, but thanks to the solid foundation taught from the very beginning, I was able to follow the classes without any major difficulties! In addition to learning the Maya tools, the instructor also showed us many helpful websites for collecting references and offered practical tips that are useful in real production. It was truly an informative and valuable class!

Thanks to that, I can now create what I want โ€” even though Iโ€™m still not perfect yet. All thatโ€™s left now is to eliminate those weaknesses..! Iโ€™ll keep reviewing everything you taught us and work hard to complete a great portfolio!!

Doyeon, youโ€™ve worked so hard attending classes while managing your job at the same time. If you continue studying slowly but consistently, Iโ€™m sure youโ€™ll be able to create great work!! From your storyboard presentation, I could really see how much interest you have in CG, and I think things will only get better once you have more time to study. Iโ€™ll help you a lot in the portfolio class!! Great job~

When I first started, the Maya course felt like it would be quite long, but it actually went by much faster than I expected. After properly learning 3Dโ€”which I had always thought would be difficultโ€”I found myself becoming even more interested in it.

Although it was challenging to actively participate in every class while working at the same time, I was able to finish the course thanks to the instructor, who always tried to help me. Iโ€™ll continue studying hard until the day I can create the results I truly want.
Letโ€™s all keep it upโ€”fighting!

Hyejin, youโ€™ve worked so hard attending classes while working at the same time.
Keep pushing forward so you can create the results you truly want with everything youโ€™ve learnedโ€”and Iโ€™ll always be here to help you whenever you need it!
I hope you continue studying diligently and successfully complete the work youโ€™re aiming for.

Among most of the academies in Busan, I think this place had the best atmosphere and the best instructors. I initially started because I was interested in CG and VFX, but as I learned more, I realized that there are so many different fields within the CG industry. Experiencing various areas helped me gradually understand which direction Iโ€™m truly interested in.

As many others have mentioned, the instructors were very kind in answering questions, and the classes were genuinely enjoyable.

Iโ€™m truly glad to hear that you enjoyed the classes. And itโ€™s great news that youโ€™ve discovered which part of the field interests you most. Of course, itโ€™s valuable to explore different areas without setting strict boundaries, but itโ€™s also a good approach to focus on the part that matches your strengths and personality, and develop your skills in that direction.

I know it must have been challenging for you to juggle your studies and the course at the same time, but I hope you take good care of your health and energy. I sincerely wish for you to achieve the dream youโ€™re working toward, Eunjoon.

The classes were really enjoyable because the instructor paid close attention to each student and guided us carefully. Thanks to the instructors, I was able to learn CG in a truly fun and enjoyable way!

Now that Iโ€™m entering the portfolio class, Iโ€™m really excited to think about creating a piece based on the storyboard I planned myself. Iโ€™ll work hard until the very end and finish strong!

Junseop, thank you for all your hard work. I truly enjoyed teaching you as well. You always worked well on your own, so Iโ€™m confident that youโ€™ll be able to complete your portfolio beautifully. Iโ€™m sure the storyboard youโ€™ve planned will turn into something amazing once itโ€™s finished.

Letโ€™s stay consistent and work hard in the portfolio class so you can complete your project and finish strong. Iโ€™ll always be here to support and help you. Fighting!

From the very first class, the instructor explained everything step by step in great detail, which helped me build a solid foundation in 3D and improve quickly. Not only during the lectures, but even outside of class time, the instructor responded to my questions promptly and gave clear, thorough feedback. Thanks to that, I was able to learn deeply in a short amount of time, which I really appreciated.

Another great strength is that through special lectures, we were able to gain foundational knowledge in various programs as well. This was incredibly helpful for broadening my understanding of the field.

Taehos, youโ€™ve worked so hard managing both your job and the classes. I remember how often you had to work late or deal with overtime, yet you never showed any signs of exhaustion and always kept up with the lessons. I truly appreciate that.

I hope you stay focused and finish the remaining classes strong. Iโ€™ll continue supporting you every step of the way, so letโ€™s make sure you complete an amazing piece and achieve what youโ€™re aiming for. Fighting!

When I first started attending a CG academy, I had many worries, but the instructors guided us step by step and always taught kindly whenever we didnโ€™t understand something. Through the various special lectures offered by the academy, I was also able to strengthen the skills needed for my portfolio. These experiences have been a great source of motivation for me.

I will continue working hard to create my own projects based on everything Iโ€™ve learned. Lastly, I look forward to and support the amazing works that my classmates and other students at the academy will create. I am truly grateful to all the instructors who have been with us throughout this journey.

Se-eun, thank you for all your hard work throughout the course. Balancing school, your graduation project, and these classes must not have been easy, yet you never once came late and always participated with full dedication. I still remember when you first started the course and asked all those questions about your graduation projectโ€”it really feels like it was only yesterday. Time has gone by so quickly.

Even in the smallest assignments, you never cut corners and always produced beautiful results. If you continue with the same passion and effort youโ€™ve shown so farโ€”always eager to learn and striving for great outputโ€”Iโ€™m certain that the projects and dreams youโ€™ve been aiming for will absolutely come true.

Iโ€™ll always be cheering for you!

Through the Maya and ZBrush classes, I feel that Iโ€™ve gained so much. At first, I was nervous and unsure if I would be able to do well, but thanks to the incredibly kind and detailed instruction from both the Maya and ZBrush teachers, I was able to learn thoroughly and with confidence.

I used to struggle with focusing on one task for a long time, but during the course, I found myself completely absorbed in the assignments and practice sessionsโ€”something that made me genuinely proud of myself. Every moment spent learning, completing projects, and overcoming challenges felt truly meaningful. I feel like Iโ€™ve created memories that I will treasure and look back on for a lifetime.

I want to express my sincere respect and gratitude to both instructors who taught me, as well as to the classmates who shared this experience with me.
Once again, thank you for giving me such a wonderful opportunity.

You worked so hard throughout the course, even though balancing your health and your studies must have been really tough toward the end. Thank you for finishing everything so well. Hearing that you grew a lot and felt proud of yourself as you followed the lessons at your own pace makes me proud as a teacher too. And Iโ€™m truly grateful to hear that this time was meaningful for you.

I hope you continue building on what youโ€™ve learned and grow even further, eventually becoming a wonderful artist. You really did a great jobโ€”thank you for all your hard work!

When I first started the course, it was my very first time using a 3D program, so I learned everything step by step from the basics. Whenever I didnโ€™t understand something, the instructor explained it in a clear and easy way, and I also learned a lot by asking questions and sharing knowledge with my classmates. As I worked through the assignments the instructor gave us, I felt that I improved significantly in a relatively short amount of time.

I believe Iโ€™ll be able to create a strong portfolio using everything Iโ€™ve learned from the instructors.
Thank you so much for all your guidance!

It must have been really difficult since it was your first time working with 3D, but it was wonderful to see how steadily and diligently you followed along. Classmates truly make a big differenceโ€”you can rely on each other and stay motivated together.
When you move on to the portfolio class, make sure to ask whenever thereโ€™s something you donโ€™t understand! Letโ€™s work hard and finish your portfolio beautifully.

Youโ€™ve been doing so well that Iโ€™m more excited than worried about what youโ€™ll create!

Since I was taking the course while managing my schoolwork, I couldnโ€™t organize and follow the classes as perfectly as I had originally hoped, which left me with some personal regret. Even so, thanks to the instructorโ€™s clear explanations of each concept and function, I was able to stay on track and finish the course without giving up.

Taking the Master Class alongside the main course also helped me a lot. Learning the programs more broadly gave me a better understanding of what kinds of work I might want to pursue in the future. Iโ€™ll continue studying and reflecting on the areas I need to improve so that I can truly enjoy the process of creating my portfolio.

Thank you so much for everything during the course :)

Yujin, you worked so hard! I know there were moments when things felt tough for you, but the fact that you didnโ€™t give up and completed the course is truly amazing. Sticking with something until the end is never easy, and you really did a great job.

I genuinely believe youโ€™re someone with so much potential, and Iโ€™m excited to see what youโ€™ll achieve next.
Create an amazing portfolio and make sure your dreams come trueโ€”Iโ€™ll be cheering you on all the way!

Fighting!
