I was blown away by the level of personal interaction the 1-on-1 mentorship provides. I couldn't have imagined I would go from knowing nothing about FX, to receiving job offers within 6 months of study with CG Spectrum!

Kristian Kebbe FX Artist - Luma Pictures

I hadn't even finished the course before I was offered a job. My understanding of Nuke Compositing was minimal when I started, but with the help of my mentors, I managed to build my skills and get my foot in the door at a major VFX studio.
