Back in 2011 CG Spectrum went from very small beginnings to where we are now and remain to grow and prosper. We started our online school in Vancouver and in 4 years made it to Australia to bring the very best artists in the market to the talent right here. CG Spectrum was able to create a school dedicated to mentoring students, with no prerequisite of a diploma in animation , with movie and video game design industry specialists because of stories like this.
In simply 8 mentored sessions with CG Spectrum Mentor of Principle Art Jake Collinge, a student was able to get a job at a studio as a Junior Video game Artist.
Alan Blackwell went to our Vancouver branch looking for a coach to aid him further develop his art abilities to hopefully land him a job at a studio.
Jake Collinge was already working in business as a concept artist for movies and assisting to get things started at the school. When we matched the two for mentorship it was evident that Alan was a gifted artist and simply had to be shown the ropes and techniques to push his artwork even further. Jake not only taught him some new digital illustration and painting strategies for concept design, however also taught him the best ways to promote it to be noticed by a film or video game studio. This is crucial for our market and without help from working specialists can be a complicated task for a freelance artist to break the barrier into entertainment art.
Jake and Alan were very fortunate to be able to meet personally for their mentoring sessions. That was terrific for them due to the fact that they lived near each other, but what about people who stay in cities or even nations apart who want to study our diploma of screen and media?
Well, that is why we created a school that could bring students together with working experts face to face and individually through our online training. Now we can bridge that huge gap and provide the greatest caliber education through a state of the art online learning system. It is not just the system that must work for students it is the importance of having the ability to network and gain from individuals who are currently working in the industry.
CG Spectrum is continuously seeking information and partnerships with regional movie and video game studios in Australia as well as internationally to help bring more of the industry right here. We need to know what they are searching for in professions for future employees and certain projects. So that we can better assist our students down the best career paths for them and their skills and capabilities.
Since then, Alan has been working in the video games industry as a Senior Principle Artist.
