"When there's a smile in your heart, there's no better time to start" - J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan CONTACT US Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) What level of experience and artistic skills should a student have to apply to Lost Boys? Due to having all of our programs project-based, the difficulty can be scaled to meet the students’ needs and prior level of experience. We have had students with little to no experience and some with years of experience in the specific field. However, both benefited greatly from the program which has left them highly-sought out by recruiters in the VFX industry. Although we are open to all levels of experience, what is needed is some basic knowledge of either 3D or image manipulation. Despite that basic knowledge, our graduates will receive a diploma and carefully crafted demo reels which will ultimately get you placed.Our goal is always to push you to the next level. it might seem a little difficult at first when deciding what to put in your portfolio, but we always suggest our students to put their most confident work forward. Each element you submit, you should always try to think of how the work you submitted connects to the program you are applying to. For example, what type of work can present your skill to see color, composition, projections, and your attention to detail. If you have some basic experience in any of the programs we offer, always add them to your portfolio! However, do not let the 8-10 submission hinder you from sending us more of your work. We encourage all of our applicants to write a sentence or two about each submission and tell us why you chose this piece and how you think it relates to the program. Feel free to contact us if you wish to see some examples of submissions. What is the difference between the Vancouver and Montreal program? What do they offer?
