“My time at the Academy helped in many ways. Experience working in a production pipeline was very important in being able to hit the ground running when you get a job.  Also the network of people you come into contact with and the relationships you form at the MAV are just as, if not more, important as the technical experience you gain.”

“The ability to put on a different hat without losing momentum and staying in full production mode helped in my current role.  Through the Academy I met and went on to work with fellow students or industry guests that wouldn’t have been able to meet otherwise.”

“I’ve have the chance to do development on new technologies, like hololens, AR / VR development in Unity.  And most important of all, the academy provided me with the experience to understand how it feels to work in the VFX industry, and that’s what I came for in the first place.”
