Innovations in technology and media make animation and visual effects an increasingly relevant and lucrative skillset, in industries from feature lmmaking and games to augmented, mixed, and virtual reality. The New York Film Academy offers hands-on training for
a new generation of animators and visual effects artists to learn to create new worlds, and to tell stories that can change the way people think and change
the way we navigate technology. Our 3D Animation
& Visual Effects (VFX) programs are carefully crafted
to teach foundational concepts through practice, and equip students with the professional tools to build a world from nothing but pixels and imagination. After completing our hands-on training, our alumni have gone on to work on the cutting edge of the industry, from “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” to Marvel lms like “Thor” and “Captain America: The Winter Soldier.”
Hands-on learning at NYFA shapes aspiring animators for an increasingly competitive eld. Our students
will roll up their sleeves and learn to use industry- standard software and equipment from the very rst day of class, including Maya, ZBrush, V-Ray, Adobe Creative Suite, Houdini FX and Nuke. They’ll learn from our award-winning faculty, composed of professional animators and visual artists who have worked with Disney Animation, Sony Imageworks, DreamWorks, Jim Henson’s Workshop, and MPC. Faculty credits include “Jurassic Park,” “Tangled,” “Terminator 2,” “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets,” “Batman Returns,” “Ghostbusters,” “Return of the Living Dead,” “Apollo 13,” “How To Train Your Dragon 2,” “Rise of the Guardians,” “Total Recall,” “X2: X-Men United,” “The Amazing Spider-Man II,” “Warcraft,” “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” and many, many others.
We provide professional training and facilities; our students provide the total commitment, and discover incredible satisfaction through making that magic that is 3D animation and visual effects. NYFA students have the opportunity to choose their own direction and receive the most hands-on, intensive education in the world.
