Hello, a new year starts and the students are beavering away at making their showreels, so I thought I would share some updates.
This year we have even more internationals that have joined the course from as far as Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, Singapore, Nigeria, Jordan, Iran, Palestine, Brazil and from across the pond to the USA and lots of Europeans. It***8217;s made for a really nice diverse mix of students that share the love of 3D Graphics.
This year we have also been joined by two more Fantastic Lecturers
Lewis Guarniere from the Soho film industry - MPC & Double Negative
and
Frank Victoria from Weta - Concept Artists
Can not wait to see what Roel Coucke, MA Games Art student comes up with this year! its going to rock so watch this space!
