A fox silently hunts a hare in the winter snow. Off in the distance a hooded archer observes the pair. What happens next is...unexpected. Watch VanArts grad Manon Galasso's 2D animated short "Un Matin" now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_Byc5M7LiU #animation #madeatvanarts

Three of our Broadcasting & Online Media grads (Justin Anthony, Meriahza Khan, and Nazer Nazer) are finalists in the Z95.3 Vancouver contest to find the new intern for the Kid Carson morning show.

Enjoy highlights from our 2D/3D Character Animation student films & reels from 2019-2020!

We love to show off our students' demo reels. Today is Ryota Hamaguchi's time to shine in the spotlight with their visual effects (#VFX) work. From making photorealistic water run in a creek to a bridge exploding, Ryoto shows off the skills that they learned at VanArts. #madeatvanarts

See how #VFX is being reshaped by "The Volume". This is the future of visual effects, and it's going to be an exciting time for workers. Watch the vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yNkBic7GfI

So what are your thoughts on this development? Do you think it's a good idea to have director Zack Snyder go back and re-do his Justice League movie, or is it a waste of a reported $40-$70 million dollars? And will you be looking forward to seeing the return of Jared Leto's Joker in Zack's JL? https://www.hollywoodreporter.com//jared-leto-to-play-joke

The new season of Star Trek: Discovery is the first aired TV show to have a large part of its' post-production done by workers at home. From the show's visual effects, the musical score, and even additional scenes where the actors needed to scan in their visual appearance for reshoots, the pandemic didn't stop the work being done. #startrekdiscovery #vfx #madeatvanarts

If you missed it earlier, here's a look inside a Photography class during the pandemic. See how VanArts instructors are still running classrooms, and how our Photography students are learning the skills they need to become pros. https://www.vanarts.com//inside-vanarts-photography-in-th/ #photography #studentlife #madeatvanarts

If helping to make a video game wasn't enough of a reason to work in the game industry, this may be another: did you know that sealed copies of older video games are selling for hundred, thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars? This 23 year old copy of a sealed #N64 #GoldenEye video game sold at auction last month for an incredible $22,800! How long until collectors start asking for signatures of the game developers on the boxes, like they do for the artists and writers of comic books? #videogamecollecting

Our senior students from class GAD35 collaborated on a Virtual Reality group project in their final term. Check out the awesome teamwork!

Today is Graduation Night for the VanArts grads of 2020. We are honoring both the spring and fall intakes in our grad ceremony which will take place online. While we can't celebrate in person, it won't stop us from showing off the accomplishments of these two intakes. On behalf of the instructors and support staff at VanArts, well done grads of 2020! We'll see you online at tonight's show!

One of the ways we adapted our Acting program around the pandemic was to move their final theatre performance project outdoors. Not only that, but this year’s play was directed by one of our own alumni. Read all about it here.
