Teaching
Most VFX training teaches you what to do when everything goes right.
That's not production.
In production, requirements change. Feedback is inconsistent. Constraints shift halfway through a shot. The artists who survive aren't the ones with the most techniques — they're the ones who can still make a good decision when conditions aren't ideal.
That's what I teach.
What this means in practice
I don't teach workflows. I teach you to reason about images — so when the workflow breaks, you still know what to do.
Every lesson is built around real production failure points: where artists misjudge scale, light, or integration. Where they follow a tutorial into a dead end. Where they can execute but can't explain why something isn't working.
You advance when your work meets an objective standard. Not when the time is up.
Who this has worked for
Over 20 years, this approach has been tested across diploma programs, studio pipelines, adult retraining, and military technical instruction.
Teaching across that range does one thing: it kills methods that only work under ideal conditions.
240+ students have gone on to careers at top-tier studios. That's the evidence.
