Portfolio Requirements

PORTFOLIO REQUIREMENTS

A portfolio of your work will be used to select applicants for VFT program. Before you start organizing your portfolio, keep in mind that this is a Graduate Program. This means that we expect that you have a portfolio that's at the level of someone who has graduated from a post-secondary program. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

PORTFOLIO GUIDELINES

  • The portfolio should contain examples of your 5 best pieces of work.

  • We are most interested in the work that relates to visual effects and/or motion graphics; this can consist of your best 3D or 2D work you may have done in a previous course or on your own. Examples include:

    • 3D models you created

    • 3D models you textured

    • 3D models you rendered

    • 3D models you animated

    • image manipulation using programs such as Photoshop (please include ‘before and after’ images if you do heavy image editing)

    • any compositing work you may have done

    • design and/or motion graphics work


  • Handing in a collection of .jpg and still images is fine, but be mindful that you can only have five pieces of work

  • If your portfolio is a demo reel, all work combined should be no longer than 2 minutes. Anything beyond the 2 minute mark may not be looked at.

  • Do not copy tutorials off of the internet and submit it as your own work. Take the principles of the tutorials and apply it to your own work.
