      @@adnanislam3706 Hi Adnan! I believe that the 3d Animation and Visual Effects program is a 1 year intensive program, like all the other programs. I don't think VFS specifically provides a work/study permit for international students, and in regards to the Michal Makarewicz - 3D Animation Scholarship, I would definitely reccomed giving the school a call to get a more accurate info

    9. For international people, no, not in Canada. Unless you can get a work permit somehow (like with a NAFTA agreement for people from Mexico). VFS is a private school and Canada doesn't include private schools as a way to get a post graduate work permit. I completed the foundation and 3D animation course at VFS and there was no way to get a post graduate work permit. I'm currently studying in North Vancouver at Capilano University, a 2 year course which will give me a 3 year long work permit. Just a heads up.

      @@charlespolino My pleasure! :) Oh an one more thing. Another way to get a work permit is if a company sponsors you to work for them. But that is extremely rare. Nobody I know got it. It's too big of an investment for the company, since they can't write off the expense (taxes).

      @@youtubeguru8745 Yeah if you're coming from outside of Canada. I recommend other schools if you want to work in Canada. I'm currently studying at Capilano University in North Vancouver. Studying 3D animation, the same thing I studied at VFS. It's 2 years and I get a guaranteed 3 year post graduate work permit, because it's not a private school. The price for 1 year of 3D at VFS is 54k and 2 years at CapU is 64k total. There are lots of other Universities in Canada worth checking out. Don't get me wrong, I learned a lot at VFS, but in the end I spent too much money to be able to work in Canada.

There are many fresh high school graduates that attend VFS as well! Good luck Hoang! 😋

    • @charlespolino
      @charlespolino  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi! As a Canadian Citizen, studying in Vancouver was thankfully not too overwhelming for me personally. Although, I did have to get used to taking the train (transiting) every morning, and get myself to know the time schedule for everything, as VFS students are usually in school overtime, almost everyday. In regards to where I live, I am fortunate enough to live at home here in the city of Surrey, which is only 30-35 minutes away through transit from VFS . I hope this helps! 😄

      Hi Viraj! I unfortunately do not personally know any student from the Makeup design for TV & Film program, but all I can say is that they are AMAZING! I hired one alumni from the makeup program for my final film project in VFS, and I was so impressed at how great the makeup outcome was! Also, VFS is great for teaching their students about work ethic, and I'm sure that you will be satisfied and will be able to pick up valuable knowledge from that program. I hope that helps, Viraj! Best of luck in your school journey :D

      CINEMART FILMS Hi! So sorry for the late reply. I was in the Foundations program, and we used Canon rebel T5i’s for the majority of the program, but we also used a film camera once for a documentary class ( I unfortunately cannot remember what brand). In Film production, I heard they they you Red & Arri! I recommend bringing your own camera as well, since you may have personal projects you’d like to film, or there may be some assigned Homework you may a camera for :D I hope this helps!

    Hello Charles! I am from IT background and want to enter to Animation and VFX industry and looking at VFS as my choice. I want to ask whether drawing is an essential skill to get into Foundation Visual Art & Design program? Previously I only completed online course for "Introduction to 3D Animation" and used to learn Autodesk Maya, but I don't have any drawing skills:((( I saw many other universities require strong portfolio and drawing skills to get into program. What can you say about it at VFS Foundation program? Many many thanks for your videos!

All in all, you will not have to worry about having a strong portfolio. You're very welcome! I'm glad my videos are able to help you out :D
