Anybody have pros or cons of the school, or alternate school suggestions.

well if you are still up in the air about direction, there is alot of hot talent coming out of VFS in film/effects/animation.
- D_Dot0
thanks, but film/animation was never my strong point, Somehow allways over my head.

AIV is expensive isn't it? How does it compare to Emily Carr?

I went to VFS and was quite happy with it. have a look at the Digital Design program, it is the equivilent of what i took, but totally improved.
They also have a new foundation program and my brilliant friend Mr. Murphy is the head instructor. I think the price is really good for the foundation program to.
I guess it depends what you want to do, if you want a real depth of knowledge about art in general, go to emily carr, if you want to spend an intense, imersive year go to VFS.
There's also another local school that is supposed to be really good, is it kwantlen? Someone from Van help me out here...
that other program that I'm not sure where it is, is really tough to get into though...
happy hunting!

not sure if it matters to ya, but VFS will own everything you create while you attend the school

trudat.
But I did manage to do some non-class work that they didn't know I was doing. So in my opinion it isn't theirs.
Don't tell ;-)

(Dec 10 04, 15:44)not sure, so they can use student work to promote the school i guess?
i remember one of my instructors went there and he created the reel of the year or something, and he can't even show it just to anybody, he needs clearance from the school.. shitty deal
