MasterClass Season 3: A Journey of Learning, Creativity, and Inspiration
A truly inspiring class has the power to transform lives, igniting the spark of curiosity and passion within each student. This is what just happened at MasterClass Season 3, which has been an extraordinary journey of learning, creativity, and inspiration for students at VTC Academy.
The Importance of Compositing in the Digital Era
In today’s digital era, compositing has become a fundamental skill in the creation of visual effects and animations. It involves combining visual elements from separate sources into a single image, creating seamless scenes that captivate and engage audiences. Mr. Juan Restrepo, a senior lighting artist, emphasized the critical role of compositing in modern filmmaking during his sessions.
“Compositing is an area that is very demanding, because all the projects needs somebody doing compositing tasks,” said Mr. Restrepo.
This July, Juan Restrepo visited Vietnam to conduct a MasterClass with young artists at VTC Academy. Within a week, he provided students with hands-on experience in advanced compositing techniques, empowering them to create professional-quality work. The students were thrilled to learn from someone who has worked on iconic projects like “Bumblebee” and “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil.”
Tien Nguyen, a VTC Academy student, shared, “The compositing sessions were eye-opening. I thought I was good enough after learning at VTC Academy, but then I realized I still have a lot to learn from the world’s experts. It’s amazing how much you can achieve with the right techniques”.
Bridging the Gap: Connecting Vietnamese Students with Hollywood Expertise
One of the highlights of MasterClass Season 3 was the opportunity for Vietnamese students to connect with Hollywood expertise. Mr. Restrepo’s presence brought a wealth of knowledge and experience from the global film industry to VTC Academy. His ability to simplify complex concepts and make them accessible to students was truly inspiring.
“The Masterclass was a unique chance for us to learn directly from a Hollywood professional. The feeling that you’re learning with an expert and you can understand what he said was amazing,” said David Bong Chung Ming, another student. “Mr. Restrepo’s enthusiasm and passion for teaching made the sessions engaging and motivational.”
The MasterClass not only provided technical skills but also encouraged students to think creatively and push the boundaries of their artistic abilities. It was a reminder that with dedication and hard work, they too could achieve great success in the global digital arts industry.
“The most important is to understand the technique and practice and practice and practice. If they can do that, they will have many opportunities in the industry,” said Juan.
Collaboration with Rubika: Elevating VFX Education in Vietnam
The concept of inviting industry experts to teach a MasterClass at VTC Academy was initiated in 2022. The collaboration between VTC Academy and Rubika, a prestigious institution known for its excellence in digital arts education, has been a game-changer for VFX and 3D animation education in Vietnam. Rubika’s expertise, combined with VTC Academy’s commitment to fostering local talent, has created a powerful synergy that benefits students immensely.
MasterClass Season 3, supported by Rubika, offered a comprehensive curriculum that covered various aspects of VFX and animation. The collaboration ensured that students received top-notch education and were exposed to the latest industry trends and technologies.
The success of MasterClass Season 3 is a testament to the dedication and hard work of all involved. It showcased the potential of Vietnamese students and their ability to thrive in the global digital arts industry. VTC Academy’s continuous efforts to provide world-class education and opportunities for its students are truly commendable.
As we conclude this remarkable season, we extend our heartfelt thanks to Mr. Juan Restrepo for his enthusiastic teaching and to Rubika for their unwavering support. The memories and knowledge gained during this masterclass will undoubtedly shape the future of our students.
