Why do you think Anima School is one of the most preferred names in its field today? Why is it is so preferred among many animation and visual effects schools? Let's look at the answers to these questions together...
We started our education life in January 2014, with the 25 years of experience of Anima Istanbul, which is one of the most prestigious and respected production companies in the industry and has produced highly acclaimed productions such as "Bad Cat Şerafettin". As a result of our professional trainers and experience, we have managed to become one of the most preferred and respected institutions in the field of 3D education in a short time.
By continuing to follow sectoral and technological developments closely, we continue to renew ourselves in each new education period and to diversify our courses and services in order to provide our students with a world-class education.
With the technological developments, the interest in the branches related to animation and visual effects is increasing day by day. Many people who received their education in other branches or started their careers in many different sectors today decide to move into the fields of animation and visual effects.
This situation can be seen more clearly when we look at our student profile since our establishment in 2014. Contrary to what many people think, our trainings are not only preferred by people who are trained in the field of design. From pharmaceutical representatives to surveyors, lawyers and human resources specialists, people from many different fields that we think have nothing to do with design continue to receive education at Anima School today, and instead of working in an area where they are not happy, they want to start a career, a life that they have always dreamed of.
In addition to the diversity of occupational groups, the difference in the age ranges of Anima School students and graduates is also noteworthy. Considering that our youngest student to graduate from Anima School is 15 years old and our oldest 50 years old, it becomes clear once again that age does not matter in order to start a new career and achieve their dreams.
As Anima School, we see everyone gathered under our roof, from instructors to students, as a member of our family. As a result of this, we are at least as happy with the successes of our students and we believe that it is of great importance to encourage these successes.
We offer 3 months of basic education to our students who complete our 6-month training as the top of their class, and offer insured internship opportunities to our participants who are successful throughout the education. In this way, we help our students and graduates to improve themselves and take a solid step into the sector.
When we say “Anima School family”, of course, we are not talking about a short-term acquaintance relationship. Just as members of a family establish long-term (preferably lifelong) relationships and develop a strong organic bond between them, we want the bond we establish with our graduates and students to be as organic and strong.
Since we do not want our relationship with our students to remain only in the classroom and we want our students to get the maximum benefit from the education they receive, we open groups specifically for each lesson and include all our students in these groups immediately. In this way, we provide our students with platforms where they can instantly share their work, the problems they encounter, and any questions they have with their instructors and classmates.
As for our graduates… Once they graduate, we will not forget the members of our family. As Anima School, we attach great importance to establishing long-lasting bonds with our students, so we bring our graduates together on our Anima School Network page, which we have opened for them, where we share sectoral announcements and projects with our graduates.
Not only that, we include our graduates in our projects and provide them with in-house or freelance job opportunities. We include our students who have successfully completed their education in internships, and if they are successful in this process, we offer them job opportunities within our own organization or in other projects and studios we are affiliated with.
Did you know that in the cast of the animated movie "Bad Cat Şerafettin", made in 2016, produced by Anima Istanbul, 3 people graduated from Anima School and many of our graduates from Anima School today work in the most reputable agencies and studios of the sector, such as Anima Istanbul?
Regardless of the field related to design, the best way to show your talents and skills in that field is undoubtedly through the portfolio. A strong and striking portfolio (such as demo reel, showreel) replaces hundreds of words; continues to be your most important tool that differentiates you from your competitors and colleagues.
For all these reasons, we at Anima School attach great importance to our mission to "become a portfolio school" and provide guidance to each of our students in building a professional portfolio, no matter what training they attend. Thanks to the portfolios you will prepare under the guidance of our professional trainers, we help you make a solid entrance into the sector.
Our mission of being a portfolio school also comes into play in preparing strong portfolios that will prepare our students for the foreign school of their choice. As Anima School, we find suitable schools for our students and provide guidance to them in creating a portfolio suitable for the aforementioned schools.
Of course, one of the biggest services Anima Okul has provided in recent years is online training. We know very well that there are many people who want to receive a world-class education on animation and visual effects but cannot do so due to spatial and location-based obstacles.
We are now able to reach a much wider audience thanks to the online trainings we have developed, taking into account the demands of many people who want to attend our trainings but live in different cities or cannot do so due to physical disabilities or time-based limitations.
When it comes to online education, the course contents uploaded by the instructor at a certain time and a process where everything is left to the determination of the student may come to mind, but the process does not work like this in Anima School online training. Online lessons, which are processed in real time, allow you to talk and chat with the instructor one-on-one, and get instant answers to your questions about the topics covered. After each lesson taught, the video of the said lesson and related documents are sent to you instantly via e-mail.
