Ideal for artists who’ve completed CG Fundamentals, an equivalent program, or worked in the industry, this program is designed to elevate a student’s existing skills, identify their area of specialization, and help them build a stand-out portfolio.

Overview

Program overview

Taught through Think Tank’s interactive platform, Portal, this program combines prerecorded tutorials, collaborative workshops, and one-on-one mentorship to help experienced artists elevate their skills in an interactive, production-driven setting.

 

Specializing in your field of interest, you’ll create a portfolio that is catered toward a particular career, and often, a specific studio. With advice from your experienced supervisors, instructors and personal mentor, you’ll develop a wealth of industry insights and connections to prepare you for a career in Film, TV, or Games.

 

Because you already have the basics down, it’s time to challenge yourself and take the next step in your education. The creative industry is one which demands a lot, but we’re here to make sure you have everything you need.

Who it's for

This program is for artists with foundational skills in CG who want to elevate their skills while working remotely. Students must be ready to dedicate at least 40-60 hours a week to their studies. Working while studying is not recommended.

As the foundational piece of the portfolio production process, this mentor-focused term has you making definitive creative decisions on your pieces–such as finalizing shots, completing lighting, rendering, and compositing to produce what will become the final cut.
