Thank you for these videos! I'm starting in the concept art diploma program in a couple weeks and it's nice to see exactly what I'm getting in to. :) I'll probably stop by at the vernissage this friday, I hope to meet you there!
Hi, heres a content idea suggestion for future videos ^^. Maybe show your accepted portfolio, tips on making one. Fundamental things that you’ve learned. Maybe aspects that you might of not of expected when studying over there. Art struggles and how you’ve overcame them. Make an after and before video of an art piece you’ve done before attending the school. Etc!
Hi ChocoMilk, thanks so much for comment and ideas! They are great, I will try to answer them in the next videos, but with the ending of the fourth term we have less time than ever.
haha love it , i had no idea you were making vids ! Great job , you need an update though !
Pierre
Thank you Pierre! Trust me that I want to make another update, just for now I have different priorities. :-)
Hey, thanks for making this video. Great stuff. I was wondering what the age range is of people in your class? Just wondering if I'd feel extremely out of place applying there as a 30 year old.
Hi Andrew, thanks for the interesting question. Most of my classmates are in the age of 21-24. But a few of us are around ±30, and I am the oldest one in the third batch (33). I understand the sentiment, but it is more about the state of your mind and not letting your ego to compare yourself to younger folks. There will be always someone younger and better than you.
But what matters is your progress on your path.
In the beginning, I felt a little bit separated, as we, older folks, had to solve more complex problems in our lives.
So you might not understand lots of actual memes, inside jokes, and north America references. You might even find some small-talks as a waste of time. But you can talk to everyone about concept art and design of games and that topic will be generally understood and welcomed with everyone. Art feedback and opinion of my classmates help me a lot and that is what matters and why I like it to be surrounded by them.
Oh 30 is nothing! There was a 40 year old in my class at animation school and he went on to have a fruitful career. I was also older than most. The only way it was "bad" was that the level of humor coming from the classmates was well beneath me and it got annoying sometimes. In the end I made friends for life from many of them.
I'm so excited to do this when I get older, I absolutely love concept art and I am interested in everything I'm seeing so far, Syn Studio looks absolutely amazing, and I can't wait to dive into this and start learning everything, I wanna learn all of it!
Oh and also do they officially use VR or is that just your headset, if they do, then I'm twice as excited!
Thanks so much for the insight, I was just thinking about the school and I needed to know some more aboit how things work, thank's so much!
Your welcome, Jehudi! Syn Studio has a few VR sets for students to use and yes, it is pretty fun to sketch/built in VR.
@@vmokry oooh good to hear, that's cool
Thank you for all the information. I am really excited to get into Syn Studio. But there are some questions I want to ask you please reply to this comment if you have the time for an Interview. Thanks.
Unfortunately, I don't have time for interviews. I answered most of the questions in related videos, if you miss something, feel free to ask here on RUclips. Alternatively, you can write me an email, but be brief, please.
I want to apply for Pg program is this college is good for becoming concept artist?
Hi Vladimir! I unfortunately wasn't finally able to visit Syn Studio as I was planing due to the COVID-19: I didn't make it further than the airport :/
I saw that Syn Studio switched to online classes as a result. Did you have some online classes during your last semester there, and if yes how did it go? :)
Hi Xian. Yes, Syn Studio successfully transformed into online teaching. By online I mean "real" online classes - we got a teacher at zoom/hangouts. Negatives: you did not see your classmates in real life. Positives: You could focus more on what teachers say about the topic or feedback without the noise. Suddenly, the fact that school lends you a powerful laptop made an advantage, because you could continue flawlessly from the home.
We had online classes only for our last ~three weeks. 4th batch is continuing online now, but eventually, education will return to in-class in Canada. With caveats, maybe, but will return. :)
You can read sum-up here: www.linkedin.com/pulse/new-beginnings-act-ii-vladimir-mokry/
@@vmokry Hi Vladimir, thanks a lot for your answer! To be honest, I hope they will offer a few programs online permanently, such as the art bootcamp. Since it is only 10 weeks long, not having to move to Montreal for it would be a way to save some money.
I read your sum-up: since most of the end of the semester versissages were canceled, were the students able to showcase their work to studios and art directors in those meetings you mentioned?
Hi 😁 great to see you're back ! Nice shots ! I would love to ask you a few questions about syn studio since I would like to apply there as a full time student. And also since I'm from Europe France, I'd love to know more about how you went about all the visa / health insurance / housing situation , since it's a big move ! Have a good summer break and keep working hard 😁 cheers
Hey, your Arctic base illustration was great. Really nice environment pieces.
Good luck with the course :)
Thanks for the comment, Pronoy! Still working on it! :)
Keep at it. Your environment lighting/layout was very successful.
I hope you take a liking to that as well. The Arctic base and Asian market had great design and layout.
Environment design is vital. I wish I implemented lessons on scenes like you, but I don't know what you've learnt. Good luck. I hope you can harnass this to make amazing art. :)
@@vmokry good luck. You have a knack for smartly designed environmental art. Not everyone gets to say that. Good luck! Your Arctic base was strong..... Please make more like it...
Hi I enrolled myself in the full time portfolio Prep program at SYN.....can I contact you ?
0:00 - 0:17 video gaining momentum
0:18 - 0:26 getting epic
0:27 drops to a regular video... ;)
On the other hand, the second issue is priceless :-D
Keep it up! :)
Thank you for making this insightful videos regarding the overall course ! I am currently at my last high school year and are planning on pursuing a carrier in concept art . Just wondering, uhm.. can a concept artist be a Visual development artist as well? And do you need to be “ specifically” designing your portfolio towards the gaming industry instead of the animation industry ?
Vis dev a concept art overlaps. It depends on what do you want to do. CADP is tailored more towards the gaming industry. In the production, every skill is appreciated. One day you draw environments, another colour keys or a storyboard.
Hi Vmokry, Really appreciate these videos of you sharing your experience at Syn Studio. I wanted to ask as someone who is looking to go there also, do you know if it's possible for international students to work part time to help pay rent during the concept art diploma? Also do they sort out the student visa for you?
Hi J. IIRC I already answered this question in some of my previous video. I think it is manageable, I do from time to time small design jobs for my clients to support myself financially, but ideally, you should focus only on art related activities to get maximum from the program. To the second part of the question, yes, Syn Studio will help you get the student visa, as Concept Art Diploma Programme is an accredited study program. But you have to do the bureaucratic paperwork by yourself.
Great to see you back! I would like to see something about... Basics about finances in Canada, Montreal. The price of an egg and a bus ticket, that kind of thing.
Thank for the comment, Carol. For the price of egg and other commodities, I recommend website Numbeo.com. You can compare your current city w Montreal. But I plan to do some small video about preparing budgets and reality check. :-)
I just found your channel and its awesome the videos you create about Syn are extremely helpful!!
Thank you.
Hi your vlogs are really helpful :) also as I am from India I would like to know if international students are eligible to stay and find work after finishing diploma ?!
Hi Samruddhi. Thanks for the comment.
AINAL, but any student that finish an accredited full-time study program here in Canada longer than 8 months can stay the same amount time here after graduation (up to 3 years). CADP is accredited full-time degree program, so yes, you can get a post-graduation work permit for 1,5 year.
Would you kindly share your portfolio which helped you to enroll in syn studio ? It would have been really helpful.
Hi Rahul. I was at the end of the list, the portfolio is not the only thing school look at and finally, the quality of portfolios jumped significantly with the 4th batch. So I believe that it won't help you. But who knows, maybe later I will find a time to make more about this topic.
Just perfect!
Nice video, keep up the good work! :)
