Advanced Visual Effects Diploma

Bow Valley College

Bow Valley College

www.bowvalleycollege.ca
The Advanced Visual Effects (VFX) program allows you to confidently enter production-ready roles in the fast-growing film and game industries. You will learn the history of special effects techniques and apply that knowledge to create an entire short film from top to bottom. This includes directing, designing, and building 3D assets, as well as fully integrating visual effects shots from concept to post-production. Along the way, you will develop a professional demo reel and portfolio in line with the latest industry trends. Beyond the classroom, you will have the opportunity to establish professional connections through a variety of industry events as you prepare to take on visual effects and motion graphics roles working in feature films, games, and other media.
