- Most people say the prices of VFS are $35000 and $50000. They're not. There are a lot more expenses that you will need money for before you start. This video is meant to make you aware of these and help you with ways of saving some money of you're already in a tough situation.
Please plan ahead so that you don't find yourself stuck with little or no money. Try your best to get some sleep every few days and eat something other than burgers sometimes. Good health can make your much more productive and end up saving you time.

Thanks for watching, and don't forget to smile! :D
THANKS so much for the information, please keep doing this kind of videos .
Thank you very much for the video. You are really talented. Please keep doing your videos.
I'm looking to study with VFS, and your video is a lifesaver
Hello,
Im from Brazil and i will go to VFS next year to do 3d animation and vfx course.
Your videos are helping me a lot
thanks!
if you are planning to work in Vancouver, have in mind that VFS doesnt give you work permit.
wait what seriously?
@@caster.avrted8154 VFS has a diploma program, you can work 4h per day, but you wont ,cause you would have no time. I did not go to Vancouver cause the covid. And i suggest you to wait too. Good luck!
@@thiagosilva5656 can you give me your insta handle and talk I have some queries pls
AVRTED GAMING thiago_silva_11
so informative !!!
Thnxx bro ...ur videos r really helpfull.....can u make 1 video on scholarship or financial aid
Thank you again for the video. I have a question it could be great if you will answer it . After graduating a VFS school are you fully skilled to work as an animator or you have to continue your education in other schools to get bachelor degree? Thanks.
Great question, yes, you should be fully skilled and ready to enter the animation industry after VFS. You can always learn more but you might as well learn on the job and make money while you do.
Thank you this is so helpful! I'm coming from south africa, I'm doing the film production program. Do you think it would be better to live in downtown Vancouver or further away?
That was great info. Could you tell me about lost boys school because there is a specialized course for compositing there.
I have no info about lost boys, sorry. If you know for a fact that you want to do compositing, that would probably be a better option for you. VFS is much more general until the last 4 months.
hey, I will be moving to BC in July for Aug'20 batch in writing for films, televisions & games. My wife will be looking for a job to keep the income flowing, but initially we want to save as much as possible specially with this COVID-19 situation that brings job uncertainty. Do you think renting an apartment in surrey will be a good option although it's a little far from the school?
Hey! Thank you for this video! I applied to Acting for Film and television! I live in New Brunswick so I basically am flying across Canada hahah what would my expenses be if you don't mind? Thank you!
Your expenses would be similar to mine but your course would obvious cost a different amount and your cost of rent will probably depend on if you can find a roommate, how close to the city you live, and how nice of a place you are staying in.
Tell us about "The Michal Makarewicz 3D Animation Scholarship " for the international student
Great Video man, I've couple of questions.
I'm already an undergraduate student of 3D & VFX. Without taking Canadian study how hard is it to work on the VFX industry?
After finishing the program what about the job opportunity in the industry? Where to find the job for Visual Effect or Animation?
There are a lot of people that fight for the same jobs, unless you know the right people or you are just amazingly good, it would be very hard to find a job and getting a work visa is almost impossible right now in Vancouver.
Hi do you know how good is the program of Programming for Games, Web & Mobile
Should i masters in vfx not Animation but Visual effects in vfs... Thanks in advance
hey not sure if you'd reply to this, but just wondering where did you work while going to vfs and how much did it pay? I'm wanting to go into the film production course in about 2 years and wondering what are some good places to work while living in the city.
The is no time to work while going to VFS
May I asked with bursaries you applied for?
Looking for FILMMAKING which school is better in Canada..!!??
There is any director course? Plzzz
Make a video about this topic
i'm interested in cost of sound design in VFS can you say something about that ? is it simillar what u said in the video ? i'm international student
Hello!
where can I find the information for the extra scholarships you’re talking about?
vfs.edu/scholarships-overview-2019
hi thank for all information you provide I have a question can we do the part-time job while doing the course in VFS? are we have enough time after college for doing some part-time?
You're welcome.
I've only heard of people who have failed at animation or barley scraped by who have had a part time job while going to VFS for 3D and VFX.
If you are an international student, be careful with work permits in BC these days. it sounds like they dont give as many away anymore
Hi please make a video talks about game design.thank u so much
I didn't take that course so I can't talk about it, sorry. If I find someone that did go through it and that would like to come on the show I will consider it.
Hey m a undergraduate student m looking for acting & television courses in VFS
How does it cost?
Hey I am from India. Thanks for the video. Actually one thing i wanted to know that VFS doesnt provide degree and than if i choose a pathway program to Franser Valley than i would be very much costly. Is there a solution for that. Can you suggest me some other options for the school/ college
You could try the Art institute of Vancouver or Van Arts. If you want it to be extra cheap then you could try an online school like Animschool, animation mentor, or Vanas
Any tips for someone who just started term 1?
Yeah, try to figure out which stream you want to go into asap. Once you know, choose a simple demoreel idea that you think you could do in no time at all then spend months on it making it literally perfect. They always push towards story based films but honestly what will get you a job is showing skill in your field. That may be a 10 second animation of two people talking and a well done action piece for an animation demoreel, a super realistic object that could fool people as a modeling demoreel, or a realistic VFX shot that combines multiple mediums seamlessly for a VFX demoreel. There are also other subcategories like layout, rotoscoping, lighting, etc that you could make a reel for. Don't get too caught up in showing everything you know in your demoreel, just what you actually want to do. Of course, try your best in every class because the better you understand all the other areas, the better you'll be at making your work streamline for a pipeline. Most importantly, make friends. Most of your jobs when you get into the industry will be from people who like you. I wish you the best of luck and I hope you have a great year :)
you didn't consider VanArts ? or is more expensive? what do you think about that school ? or why vfs ? jajaj lot of questions. Also I'll be so grateful if you could take a look to my demo.
I did consider Van Arts but I fell in love with VFS when I visited it. Also, I wasn't sure about what I wanted to specialize in in the beginning and VFS was good for that because they let you try out everything in the first 4 months before making you specify and you can change your mind later on if you want which I did do. Van Arts was trying to get my to go into modeling and I would have hated it and I'm not sure about the opportunities for switching specialties in Van arts so I might have been stuck in modeling. Also, I've heard that VFS graduates have a much easier time of finding a job after and are known to produce better work on average and that's not just me saying that.
Vfs costs more. Van Arts costs Canadians
$25,750 CAD and Internationals $31,750 CAD for their 2D/3D animation course.
Chack out Van Art's website for more info www.vanarts.com/programs/2d-3d-character-animation/
Nice demoreel! I can see you have your own style and a lot of love for what you do! Any animation school would love to help teach you since you already have so much experience playing around with animation and drawing. I could make a few adjustments like only putting your top 5 animations but that will definitely be good for getting into an animation school.
@@everythinganimation1183 thanks so much for youtr time & comments ! Greetings from Mexico
And which one to go for vanarts or vfs for Visual effects coz i wanna do houdini so if u have an answer pls respond
if you want to do VFX, look into lost boys academy
Hi, What do you think should I take for grade 11 and 12 If I wanna be a Game developer? thank you
Math and IT. It's more of a question of what you should do, not, what should you take. You should watch youtube and online tutorials about game development and actually do it right now, every day! If you truly want to do it later on, you will be doing every day anyways so might as well make all your beginner mistakes now while you're just in highschool and can have some good fun with it
Hey man !! I m currently pursuing my bachelors in computer science engineering. Is it fine for me to do a diploma in game development in vfs?
I have heard the VFS game dev isn't great and it's really rushed. Sorry, that's all I can really tell you
From where I will have to ask for Scholarship ? Is it only the school or anything else ?
I dont' know the area that you live in or how old you are so I can't give you a specific answer. Generally, google the area you live + animation/film scholarship and go threw the results. You could also ask the guidance councilor at your school or university. Some church groups have them.
I found a few websites for you to look threw:
www.scholarshipscanada.com/
www.artsumbrella.com/scholarships-bursaries/ea-scholarship/
www.scholarshipscanada.com/Scholarships/FeaturedScholarships.aspx
@@everythinganimation1183 Actually I am planning to go to Vancouver Film School. Currently I am completing my High School. Please let me know according to this.
@@akhilaggarwal8846 It's not dependent on where you're planning to go to school, unless the school is the one offering the bursary or scholarship. It will depend on where you live. Just google it like I said. It's not too hard to find
How can I get a roommate as an international student.
Make a listing on Vancouver animation facebook groups, make a listing on Vancouver Craigslist, or just ask the school housing department to look out for roommates for you (they charge for some stuff so ask if it will cost you anything)
Thanks for the great video! I am planning to apply in VFS soon for 3d animation & Visual Effects. Do you think a degree is a necessity? They have degree pathway programs and this one is a diploma, right?
I'm not sure about all the programs but I graduated with a Diploma of 3D Animation and VFX. I see no reason to get more than that. Honestly, you could get into the industry without either if you're good enough and self taught but that would be extremely difficult. The school gives you teachers and one on one help and has created a structure to help you learn easier. They also let you meet people from the industry and your class which is where most of your jobs will come from plus a lot more that you could technically do on your own if you're really motivated. So, no, I wouldn't all it a necessity but a huge help in something that is very arduous already.
EVERYTHING ANIMATION thank you for the reply !
is this the cost of the entire program? i'm a bit confused...
Yes it is, but you have to remember there are extra costs for living in a city.
Hello. I am applying to VFS next year and I was wondering how much is it to live at the school housing? Also is a cheaper then buying an apartment?
There is no school housing that I know of. You will probably have to rent. Roommates help bring costs down typically
Thank u
@@myaparmar391 Hello Mya, I'm the Business Specialist at VFS. If you have any questions about the school, you can ask me. What course you're going to apply for ?
@@deniza5111 Hi. I was just curious to know about what grades from grade 12 do you need for VFS?
@@deniza5111 I am going to apply for film production
