I am looking for the best online art school for visual Fx.?

Question

Can someone tell me the best online program from an accredited school that has either Visual Fx or illustration. I am looking at several but need some feedback before I make a final decision. Thanks

Answer 1

I've been working in Visual FX for 15 years.  I did not attend school for it, but learned it on my own.

That said, the best graduates I've hired over the last few years have come from SCAD, Gnomon, The Dave School and Vancouver Film School.

I have never hired anyone who took online courses - not by plan though.  There is too much interaction required between mentor & student, so online students are not nearly as advanced or as prepared as ones who attended a school.  Or, best of all, ones who got an intern position at a VFX shop & learned on the job.

Good luck!
