NAD Centre Starts Digital Compositing Program

The National Animation and Design Centre (NAD Centre) has announced it will offer a new training program in digital compositing, designed to teach the art for the video game and multimedia sectors, or film and television. Applicants may submit to the program now, which will commence February 26, 2008. The digital compositing program consists of 16 weeks of full-time training, divided into three parts, including 282 hours of theoretical courses and 156 hours of supervised labs. Students will create a demo of work illustrating their mastery of compositing techniques. Guest instructors who are currently working in the field will be invited to lecture and teach, and an advisory board of industry professionals will oversee the program and help guide it. Candidates will be selected according to their portfolio, letter of intent and individual interview. The registration deadline is December 14, 2007 for the winter session that begins on February 26, 2008. Tuition fees amount to $9,500 for Canadian students and $12,000 for international students. Visitors may tour the Montreal campus and speak to officials about the program October 24 and November 21. For more information, please visit www.nadcentre.com/compositing.
