THE THINK TANK ADVANTAGE
Project Driven Curriculum
When designing the curriculum, we started with the end goal in mind: a job at a film or video game studio. We know what makes a demo reel stand out because our students are consistently getting hired and studios tell us what they are looking for. With this in mind, the primary goal is preparation for the demo reel semester. We work backward and design projects in each term that prepare students for the subsequent terms.
Director Led Learning Paths
Upon finishing the Foundation semester, students will be in a position to choose a specialized learning path and further hone their skills. Each path is developed and maintained by a director. All of our directors are esteemed working professionals in the industry and have been selected based on the strength of their teaching and mentoring abilities. Check out our directors and know you are in good hands.
The Tank Advisory Board
Our Advisory Board consists of recruiters, supervisors and lead artists from the most progressive and respected studios in the world. We are constantly evolving our program to ensure it serves the future success of our students, and the Advisory Board helps to keep us ahead of the curve.
