- MASTER BUILD
1-YEAR MASTER, Full-Time
+ 6-MONTHS EXTRA-MILE PROGRAM
WITH DIEGO GONZALEZ CORTES
MASTER BUILD will teach the fundamentals of Build for production, (modeling, texturing, shading, and look development). This will be completed with an introduction to other disciplines in order to help the students to understand the studio pipeline and the interaction between build and the other departments like concept art, match move, layout, rigging, lighting, and compositing.
MASTER BUILD orbits around an educational model based on a VFX Studio Training system, where the students learn the software and techniques while using studio pipeline tools like Shotgun, in order to organize, tracking and release assignments as well as having them approved in dailies or weeklies depending on the task and schedule.
The main idea is providing the students a true studio environment from day one, bringing them the experience of being part of a team with duties and responsibilities, as they will have once they incorporate into the studio workforce.
Providing this working environment to the students will help them to build the mindset required for developing good working habits that will help them to seamlessly get incorporated into the industry.

From the software learning perspective, the goal is to assist the students to build a comfort zone from where they will expand their knowledge into the specific discipline of their choice later on in their professional careers.
We will develop the classes instilling to the students a problem-solving mentality guided by a clearly defined goal, in order to get the job done according to the industry standards and down the instructor-supervisor requirements and suggestions.
The tools and techniques learned will provide the students with a starting point to complete successfully the assignment, and we will encourage them to explore alternative approaches if that fits better their personal preferences. There is not a right or wrong way to execute the work as soon as it is delivered on time and with the quality expected.
