“Creating exceptional visual effects is not just an exercise in technical prowess. Today’s audiences are more sophisticated than that. Great visual effects are story-driven and created with a passion for telling that story. The CEA classes, and the instructors that teach them, are here to cultivate that passion in our students and help it grow. That is what gives the technical prowess we teach a meaning that goes beyond just what button to push. Sharing my experience, industry contacts and passion for the work is why I am here.”
