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.
Regular Courses
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).

CAREER PATH
FX
DYNAMICS AND SIMULATION
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.
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. FX artists are essential in today’s entertainment business as most films, TV shows and games require digital effects.

PORTFOLIO
SF Film School instructors continuously work hard to produce the best VFX artists.
These are the demo reels of SF Film School students, who are future leaders in the industry.
All the works from SF Film school students are created individually.
Most of them never used any 3D development software before they entered our school, but by following our education guideline, they could bring their vision into real life.
