The Master’s program will give you a wide spectrum of skills in order to enter the industry with a varied range of options. From movies to TV series, advertising, photorealistic renderings, prototyping and design, projections.
No knowledge of any software or artistic skills are required. What we ask from our students is a deep passion for what they will study, commitment, trust and willing to put themselves at stake.

Moreover, tons of extra topics to discover inside our Holodeck platform, which you will join via the Meta Quest 2 headset that will be delivered at your home. A new way to experience our school and far from a simple OnLine course.
And you will keep the headset at the end of the course.

Course Curriculum

Le 21 settimane di Master si dividono in due fasi: training, di 15 settimane e showreel, le ultime 6 settimane.
The program is 21 weeks long, divided into 2 periods: 15 weeks of training and 6 weeks of showreel preparation.

Everyday you’ll alternate live lessons with self made exercises and extra topics into Holodeck.
For eight hours a day your teacher will be online, always at your disposal for questions or feedbacks.
The lesson system is “American style”: during every week of the training session you will learn a different subject inspired by production steps in a real 3D animation studio.
You will learn the correct methods and gain self autonomy on progress day by day.
We don’t care about teaching softwares menu after menu, because it’s you yourself who will make the difference with what you learned so far.

Thanks to hand recognition, you will grab virtual objects and pass them to your mates.
Teachers will have the full control of the classroom and what every student sees.

Grow without losing your creativity.

Student work

During the training session you’re going to face many exercises, with increasing difficulty, focused on learning the correct production methods.
These exercises are divided into two phases: first, we’re going to ask you to repeat all the steps shown by your tutor, then you’re going to make a personalised work starting from a common base.
The final result will be truly yours, with your creativity and imagination inside and will receive the feedbacks from the mentor.
Moreover at the end of the course you will collect all the exercises made into your first real portfolio, unique among the others.

Get ready for the industry.
