Although intimidating at first, we wanted to set us apart from different visual effects schools that lean towards neutral logos. We believe a bold and unconventional logo like ours illustrate our confidence in the type of knowledge we provide our students. The detailed wings represent our goal to help you achieve your visual effects dreams while the skulls symbolize an artist’s creative mind.
The vast majority of VFX that appear in modern films and television are “invisible effects,” which means that ideally the audience has no idea they’re watching something that’s either been digitally altered or is completely synthetic. To create this effect, we have to observe reality and then replicate it.
And there is not just one reality an artist has to deal with. There are in fact 6 of them.
The Physical Reality, the real world; the Photographic Reality, the reality that is captured by the camera; the Perceptual Reality, how you perceive the world; the Imagined Reality, how you imagine reality to be; the Expected Reality, how your leads, supervisors, and directors want it to be and the Approximate Reality, how the computer mathematically creates a virtual reality.
