"After so many years in the business of entertainment, you think you've experienced most everything possible. Recently, I had the opportunity to work with Students and Staff at The Art Institute of Vancouver, doing a recording of Music of the Night from Phantom of the Opera - a song dear to my heart. Because of the intense focus and therefore overall support I felt from the entire studio, I was able to approach a song I've sung hundreds of times with a new perspective and energy. Thanks for a great time!”

"When we needed a digital artist, we searched through over 100 resumes. We're a small company, so the candidate had to be someone with advanced skills who could jump right in and become an integral part of the team. The Art Institute of Vancouver grad we hired stood out because of his strong skill set. At our first meeting, we knew he'd fit in. Within half a day, he was working on major projects. The next time we hire, we'll definitely look to The Art Institute of Vancouver - Burnaby first."

"One of our top animators at Radical Entertainment is from The Art Institute of Vancouver. He has quickly learned the ropes of game development, and played a key role in creating NHL Championship 2000 for the PC and PSX. As well as being an excellent animator, he has a high level of technical expertise. His creative problem-solving and analytical abilities have helped our company stay on top of technology trends and chose the best possible commercial tools available. I've also had the opportunity to work with another student of The Art Institute of Vancouver at both Radical Entertainment and Vertigo Technology. His creative ability and attention to detail make him an excellent part of any team. He has helped identify problems and find solutions on many occasions. His skills are broad in breath and depth, and as such he can wear many hats, which is essential in any high-tech company."

"During my time at The Art Institute of Vancouver I learned many skills required to get a job in the multimedia industry. Although my career path has change slightly from new media to visual effects, many of the skill sets are still totally relevant. Not only did I learn the software needed to be successful, but also how to teach myself new software. I have gained superior knowledge and confidence through my training at The Art Institute of Vancouver."

Just wanted to say thank you again for your help. I start tomorrow at David Chalk's ChalkTV working with Scott, Greg, two other The Art Institute of Vancouver grads. They're making me the "head Flash guy" because I have the experience. It's a great environment and great people.
