If you have any interest at all in compositing, or 3D modeling, or animation, I definitely would recommend this school.

This program has given me opportunities to do what I want to do that I wouldn’t get anywhere else.

Nicole H.
– Placed as a Floor Director

I like how supportive it is and my favorite part has been learning to animate in 3D.

So what made DMI stand out to me was just how much it simulated a real workplace. Coming into my job, I had little to no hiccups when it came to Shotgrid or communicating with artists regarding their shots. DMI sets you up for success as long as you’re willing to put in the work for it.

DMI is like a family, a community-based centre because there aren’t so many people. It’s more of a personal relationship.
