Capilano University is a Megabyte sponsor of the amazing Spark Animation Conference and festival happening this weekend. We like to put our budget to good use and have provided weekend passes to the conference for all our animation students free of charge!  These are worth $200 per person but the amazing line up at Spark will be inspirational and our students should be there.

If you're not a CapU animation student, there's still time to buy the pass before the event this weekend! http://sparkfx.ca/festivals/information.php?SPARKANIMATION2018-C

Capilano University has the best facilities (and access to them) anywhere!  Each animation student has their own workstations, equipped with a traditional animation table and a 22" HD Wacom Cintiq on an Ergotron desk-mounted arm for easy and comfortable digital drawing. Students have almost unlimited access, day and night with their ID/key cards.  Unlike at many other schools, students do not have to give up their workstation for other students to use....it's all theirs!  On more than one occasion, recruiters have visited and agreed that the set-up was better than in the actual studios!

Grad Show - Class of 2015


Class of 2015 Animation and VFX Grad Show! 
Industry Night: April 24th 5-9PM 
Public: Saturday, April 25th Noon - 4PM
@ the Harbour Centre, 555 West Hastings, Vancouver BC

The show will be set up like an exhibit with students presenting their own work at stations. There are two, 2-year programs represented: 2D Animation and the Digital Visual Effects program. Our 3D animation program, formerly 8 months, is now a two year program and so we don't have 3D grads this year.

 We welcome industry, the public and anyone interested in animation as a career to come out and see what you need to succeed in animation!

Portfolio links will be posted here after the grad show industry night.
