The Digital Animation & Visual Effects School
was founded by
Jeff Scheetz
an Animator and Visual Effects Supervisor at Foundation Imaging, one of the top visual effects houses in Hollywood. There, Jeff also handled artist recruitment. In 1999, he personally hired over 60 animators to work on an all computer animated version of Starship Troopers. For each artist he was able to hire, he would screen dozens of unacceptable demo reels. Even the worst of them showed a great deal of effort, but a terrible lack of direction, coupled with an unrefined skill set. Even the tapes Jeff got from animation school graduates usually failed to demonstrate any of the qualifications most facilities need.HeI tried, but Jeff could not find a school that consistently produced qualified entry level animators with practical skills in the creation of visual effects.
