CG Spectrum was hands down the best decision I've made for my career.
The learning material and staff were great and having an industry mentor was an invaluable asset that really helped me get my break in the VFX industry.
I hadn't even finished the course and I was offered a job.
My understanding of Nuke compositing was minimal when I started with CG Spectrum. With the help of the mentors, I managed to build my skills and get my foot in the door at a major VFX studio.
CG Spectrum is my ideal way of learning.
With mentors active in the industry keeping you on track with industry proven skills and workflows, you know you're not wasting your time. You get what you put into this course and there isn't such thing as being too keen. I couldn't be happier with the progress and skills I've gained since starting.
Your mentors are there to help you succeed!
I've been studying for almost a year now and have had people reaching out to me for jobs, which I never thought I'd have! Your mentors will know the people you need to know to in order to help you get your foot in the door.
Picking CG Spectrum has been the best decision I have ever made.
My 1-on-1 compositing mentor was fantastic and I could not have asked for anything more so in tune with the VFX Industry. I have learned so much.
Along with learning Nuke, I learnt a lot about the industry.
I studied VFX Nuke Compositing in CG Spectrum. I really enjoyed it and got very good experience in Nuke. The syllabus and materials are excellent and give a strong foundation in Nuke. They have very professional instructors whose work is prominent in big blockbuster movies.
My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner!
My mentor helped me accelerate my learning with our weekly meetings. Once I completed the course, I was left with great portfolio pieces for my showreel and given free ongoing help by a Career Development Manager, who helped me polish my resume and LinkedIn profile to help kickstart my career.
CGS was the most organized, polished-looking program to learn compositing.
In VFX, all of these skills change so much, so often, that getting taught by someone who is actively a pro in the field makes a whole lot of sense.
