Vancouver Film School phoned... AGAIN!

This time I had a sheet of question prepared. I found out all kinds of awesome information. One of my top questions was "What will I leave with upon graduation of the program?" Patrick Quigley, Admissions Advisor, told me I'd be leaving with 3 things for sure... a professional portfolio of work, a solid demo reel, and a diploma... and probably a job. He said the hiring rate is about 85 - 90 percent. They used to hire students but they can't anymore because they all get jobs first. 

The program only takes 1 year and is pretty much like a full time job/internship. Nine to five every day, and if you miss a class or show up late, you're going to hear about it. Just like a real job. I'd basically be learning right along side of people doing. 

A couple of downsides are that I wouldn't be leaving with a masters in animation (although every masters program I've seen for animation consists mostly of 3D animation), and the one year there would cost about what it cost for 4 years at Stout.... O.o yikes...

Anyway, we'll see what happens. I can apply on line and will need to find a couple good references beforehand.

Will keep everyone updated.
