Peter Gagnon
Owner, GiantVFX
“Learning Unreal has blasted open previously unattainable worlds and possibilities for me and my career by encapsulating every single content creation tool, story building platform and visual effects software into a singular, ultimate cinematic weapon.”
Koina Freeman
Virtual Production Faculty Lead, Laney College
“Unreal has changed my life in so many ways; it has given me the freedom to build worlds, stories, and prototypes—all from an idea, and for free. I now have a skill that every industry in the world needs.”
David Williams
Founder of Unreal Film Academy
“Unreal Engine allowed me to take control of my career! After undertaking the Unreal Fellowship I was invited to teach and mentor future cohorts, ultimately inspiring me to share that knowledge in Unreal Filmmaking courses that are accessible to all.”
Juan Diaz-Rosado
Course Director / Compositing and Scene Finishing/ 3D Arts/ Full Sail University
“Unreal Engine and virtual production techniques expand the capabilities of any artist to a full post-production and production studio mentality. Learning a multi-dimensional pipeline, originally designed for games, gives you a new world of possibilities that are limited by your imagination. This is only the beginning!”
Jim Rider
Virtual Production Supervisor, Final Pixel
“As a VFX Supervisor, in the last few years I became fascinated by the advancements in real-time technology. My current role as Virtual Production Supervisor at Final Pixel is a direct result of the educational foundation and associations I was able to make by participating in the Unreal Fellowship. It was truly a unique and special experience.”
Shenaz Baksh
