Andrew Schlussel, director of Animation & Visual Effects, and instructor, Thierry DiDonna, were interviewed in the Annual School Guide issue of Animation Magazine, now out on newsstands. The featured article focuses on the new course, Group Project, and how it prepares students for the real world experience of working as a team and, at the same time, creating quality work for their reels.

Andrew explains, “We’ve created a course where a director presents the class with a script, an asset list and a production schedule. The students then ’apply’ for positions and spend five weeks working solely on this project. They’ll be graded on quality, timeliness and how well they work as a team.”
