CG + 3D Portfolio Pre-Production & Production

/Hybrid/32 Weeks Online + 16 Weeks On Campus/diploma

Perfect for those who’ve completed CG Fundamentals, an equivalent program, or worked in the industry; this program is designed to elevate existing skills, identify a specialization, and help students build an industry-ready portfolio.

Overview

Program overview

Taught through Think Tank’s interactive platform, Portal, for the first 32 weeks, this program enhances your foundational skills through prerecorded tutorials, collaborative workshops, and one-on-one mentorship.

 

Specializing in your field of interest, you’ll create a portfolio that is catered toward a particular career, and often, a specific studio. With advice from your experienced supervisors, instructors and personal mentor, you’ll develop a wealth of industry insights and connections to prepare you for a career in Film, TV, or Games.

 

Along with providing you with the flexibility of remote learning, this program immerses you in a professional community built on mutual respect, artistic support, and ingenuity. At Think Tank, we strive for our students to not just observe this community, but become active players in it.

Who it's for

This program is for artists with foundational skills in CG who wish to spend the majority of their program remotely, but want to complete their portfolio in a highly collaborative, in-person setting. Students must be ready to dedicate at least 40-60 hours a week to their studies. Working while studying is not recommended.
