Giving students this opportunity is what inspired Directors Nick Fredin and Jeff Pepper to co-found CG Spectrum, the Vancouver based online school for visual effects, animation, modeling and concept design. In 2011, their dream of building a school that gives students the opportunity to receive quality education through personalized training by the best artists in the industry, without paying a fortune or being one of hundreds of graduates pumped out annually, became a reality. The school offers the world’s smallest class sizes which is great for students to get the attention they deserve from their mentors. Students can be taught properly and have the most student to teacher time possible. They believe in creating relationships between students who attend and the industry professionals they are taught by. Nick having worked in the industry for 10 years, has had the opportunity to work on some amazing films and saw a unique opportunity to teach the skills that he acquired through his experience by creating a school that he would be proud to have attended. Jeff, while working in the industry, often worked extra hours & weekends to help artists under his supervision become efficient and produce ahigher quality of work. Frustrated at the low quality of demo reels that he had to review he decided there was a great need for affordable quality education. Mission Statement: To see each of our students as individuals with goals and dreams, not just as a number lost in the crowd. To provide them with the world's most personalized education from the industry's best artists by catering to their specific needs through the provision of constant feedback and support, giving our students a competitive edge to succeed in an ever changing industry.
