Francis Leong (Cohort 1) Visual Effects Specialisation It has always been a part of my life to do something with art and film, and dropping out from engineering in University gave me the chance. I chose to study at Egg Story Digital Arts School (now known as ArtFusion Media School) because of its curriculum. It has a good solid foundation to give students. From learning Live Drawing to Sculpting and Cinematography, many of the modules in the Foundation Year give students the essential skills for their Year 2 Specialisation. I have the privilege to learn from a pool of good teachers. These include my Life Drawing lecturer, Michelle Tan, and Visual Effects lecturer, Borko Milohanovic. Borko has been a great mentor and friend to me. His several years in production (He has worked in Blackmagic Design as Lead Visual Effects Technical Director on the movie "Dance of the Dragon", and on TV Commercials projects as CGI Supervisor for Levi’s, Vaseline, Nature Fresh, Boro Plus, etc.) and endless efforts in trying out new 3D stuff, would give students the first step to Visual Effects. His first step guided me to what I am doing now. Currently, I am a Generalist Technical Director at Double Negative Visual Effects (Singapore). A quote which I like: The art challenges the technology, and the technology inspires the art. - John Lasseter, Pixar Chief  Aloysius Yeo (Cohort 5) Character Animation Specialisation Our lecturers have invested time and effort into teaching us the ropes of the industry, and guided us each step of the way as we struggled to do up our own portfolio. Even though there were times when their comments hurt us by being bluntly honest, we know that deep down inside, they care for us because of the way they always try to remain contactable and available despite their busy schedule. Being around my classmates also helped motivate and inspire me, for if it were not for all of their honest opinions, feedback and undying teamwork, I would have given up a long time ago. There are two quotes from 2 of our lecturers that have inspired me. The first one being from Jerry Ching, who said: Be bold and the mighty forces will come to you. The second one from Jerry Verschoor: If you have a dream, go for it. No one is stopping you except yourself. Cheuk Ka Hing (Cohort 6) Visual Effects Specialisation At the first glance of the school, I knew that this was the place for me. I didn't have an art background, or any experience in computer graphics. Equipped only with passion, I enrolled in the school. Truly enough, the school provided me with what I needed. The Foundation Year slowly built up the artist in me and raised my confidence. Even though work started to pile up as we advanced into our Specialisation Year, the pressure trained us to be able to deliver on time with quality. Pipeline and workflow are something important that I have learnt apart from the usual skill sets taught too. I learnt to manage my project well, knowing what is needed to be achieved to accomplish my tasks in the most efficient way. I have taken up several freelance jobs that are challenging, and tight on datelines. However, equipped with the essential skills and knowing how to manage the project, I was able to deliver. I believe that the school has brought me up well enough to step into the industry. Choy Bun Yue (Cohort 6) Visual Effects Specialisation My time spent at Egg Story Digital Arts School (now known as ArtFusion Media School) was an extremely fulfilling one. I met so many teachers and friends who were so passionate about Computer Animation and that just keeps you motivated all the time. It was most rewarding to figure out and overcome the challenges to realize who I really was as an artist. I really enjoyed my time here. Erina Lim (Cohort 5) Concept Art Specialisation Making a decision to study at the formerly known Egg Story Digital Arts School was a risky one considering the situations I had and were in at that time but I never regretted my choice. To me, the memories I have and the people I met in the time spent in here are one of the most precious and treasured moments in my life. I met people with very diverse backgrounds and yet we were in sync with one another because of our similar passions and interests. For once I could share my excitement about an artwork, design, movie, animation or even a game and they would understand and that would kick off another interesting and fun discussion. Working and being around with like-minded people also helped motivate me. The lecturers are very passionate about what they teach and they never once discouraged or gave up on me. Being in the Concept Art Specialisation, there were many times when I hit an artist block and got so demoralized but they were always there to guide and help me overcome it. It was a hard struggle through for someone who didn’t really know how to draw but I must say I have learnt much more in this institution in just my 2 years here. In here, we worked hard and played hard too! ;) What Our PSC Students Say... “There’s professionalism, helpful and knowledgeable instructors.” -- Zavier “Courses are interesting and relevant to the industry.” -- Xiao Hui “Good teaching, environment, location and cost.” -- Dani “Lessons being taught are useful and helpful.” -- Ivan |
