A Beginner's Question about the Gaming Industry. I am a VFX Camera tracker artist for Films and series & in this field for the last four years. I am from India. I am 28 & attempted to do CS however quit it in between the second year, as I was doing a two year animation course alongside that & have been working ever since with a studio that gets a decent outsourced work from overseas. However, I've had a second calling in the Games field & I have decided to make a career in Games. I am trying to pursue an education in Canada where there are good Film schools & Universities that offer courses in Games Development & Design. I am in a little dilemma as all the courses that I have searched in Canada, most schools offer only a year's Diploma in Games incl reputed Schools. This will not help me get a work permit in Canada. My query was : 1. Is there a degree/diploma course available for Games in any Canadian university for the duration of a minimum of two years ? 2. I know that a good portfolio holds a lot more value yet what is that level of education that will help me get a foothold in the Games Industry in Canada & help me make a career out of it ? Kindly suggest choices as to the further course of action. Thank you! https://ift.tt/eA8V8J
