OUR FLAGSHIP DIPLOMA PROGRAMS

VFX PRODUCTION

12-MONTH DIPLOMA

The VFX course begins with a comprehensive introduction to the principles of hard surface modeling (vehicles, buildings, armor, etc.), then moves to the art and science of texturing, lighting, and “look development.”

DAVE School students will then explore organic modeling and digital sculpting in ZBrush and create creatures, people, and animals.

GAME PRODUCTION

12-MONTH DIPLOMA

Game Production is a collaborative endeavor. The three-month studio residency on campus allows our school’s students to work together under the direct guidance of their instructors.

They will join forces on the pre-production techniques of a real game of their own making, seeing it through the Alpha, Beta, and Gold Production levels.

VIRTUAL PRODUCTION

18-MONTH DIPLOMA

Our flagship Virtual Production (VP) diploma teaches everything from both the VFX and GAME programs and real-time technologies. Students will learn: how to use LED wall virtual sets, lighting and production techniques for photo-real, real-time production, emerging production technologies, and many leading-edge approaches to the ever-evolving world of contemporary media creation.

GRADUATE ACHIEVEMENTS

“Thanks to the rigorous training and a little help from career services I was able to land a job a few weeks after graduating.

I am now working at MPC, one of the biggest studios in the industry, and working on projects directed by Tim Burton, Rob Letterman and more!”
