- What makes ACADEMY OF ANIMATION AND GAMING unique compared to other animation and gaming institute ?
- ACADEMY OF ANIMATION AND GAMING has many advantages over other schools. We are a specialized academy in ”media arts” and not a department within a larger institution. Neither we are a small set up in a closed atmosphere.
Other institutes may have a wider variety of subjects to choose from, but we are much more focused on all things related to 2D and 3D Animation, Game Art & Design, Visual Effects. As a result, you get a highly focused real-world training experience. The atmosphere of the school has more of an "art-school" quality. A major advantage our students have is a computer workstation to work on.
Students' works are evaluated in personal critique sessions with their classroom instructors, not by outside parties.Their final work is always critiqued in the context of their progress, skills, and work ethic. Teachers get to know their students personally and serve as excellent mentors during the program and beyond.
