MY FIRST DAY AT THE VANCOUVER FILM SCHOOL! 2018 | FIRST EVER VLOG! | Charles Polino

[@TwentyPaphonies]

I'm taking a tour and meeting my advisor this summer! I'm so excited to finally start at my dream school!

[@charlespolino]

Oh wow! I know how you feel, I was very excited when I finally got to speak to my advisor since I knew that was the very first step to finally starting my journey at VFS! I wish you all the best, and I'm sure you'll love your time there. Hope to see you around! 😁😁

[@sudhanshu902]

I was wondering how strong a portfolio needs to be for entering the school?

[@thehoneybeequeen]

I'm SQUEALING. This looks exactly like what I want to do!

[@charlespolino]

That's awesome!! I'm glad I could give you an insight to the VFS life! 😁

[@TwentyPaphonies]

Since you're currently in the foundation program, do you think you could make a video about your experience so far? (What you've learned, what you like and dislike, if you think it's worth it, etc.) I'm trying to decide if I want to plan on going through that program before moving on to the makeup program and I haven't found much alumni information...

[@charlespolino]

I'd love to! I should be out with this video sometime this week, and thanks for the suggestion! :D

[@ziyadtarek2717]

[@vianney_fpv]

Hi, I hope you're doing well. My name is Vianney, and I’m currently deciding between film schools. I’m considering [Vancouver Film School/Toronto Film School], and I was wondering if you could share your experience with me. Could you let me know: - Which program you were in? - If you had any prior experience in the field before starting? - What you thought of the program: did you find it worthwhile? - Did you learn new things you didn’t know before? - How has it impacted your career so far? Thank you in advance for your help. Your insights would be really valuable in helping me make an informed decision. Best regards, Vianney

[@charlespolino]

Hi Vianney! Thanks for reaching out! I have just uploaded a new VFS update answering your question, so feel free to check it out! To answer your other questions, I definitely learned new things I did not know before in my program, and the work ethic that I've developed has helped me so much until now. I wish you the best of luck, and I'm confident that you'll make the best decision for you 😁

[@NNGameStudios]

[@gelonicolas1620]

congrats bro

[@charlespolino]

Thank you!!

[@nycto16]

Amazing video bro! Question: As an animation student do you think, someone who's drawing is not good, he doesn't know about sketching should he attend animation school? Like.. does animation school requires that a student should be good in drawing/sketching etc?

[@charlespolino]

Alpha Nemesis That’s a good question :) I wasn’t an animation student, but as long as you can communicate your idea well, I believe that you don’t have to be good at drawing/sketching at all :D I would still recommend practicing basic sketching/drawing to help your self personally 😋

[@nycto16]

@@charlespolino Ohh thank you so much Charles for telling me this..💗 plus what's your major?

[@charlespolino]

Alpha Nemesis You’re welcome! I graduated from the Foundation of Visual Art & Design, and finished off within the film stream in that program 😋

[@nycto16]

@@charlespolino ohh nice 😍

[@sambhudai56]

So how much does it cost to study there???? ...monthly or yearly...what qualification should we have before?? Please reply bro....

[@charlespolino]

Hello! It really depends on what program you're planning to enroll in :D for me personally, I'm paying $23,000 Canadian for my "Foundation Visual Art & Design" program for the whole year. It also depends wether you're living in Vancouver, or if you're planning to study here as an ex-change student because the price varies. For Qualifications, VFS requires you to have a portfolio to present to for whatever program you choose. I'm in the foundation program at the moment to build up a portfolio, and to find out what program I want to specialize in the following year :D I hope this helps! you can also check out the VFS website for more info! vfs.edu/

[@sambhudai56]

So what about flim direction ?? I wan to study that....please help me out bro.... You can give some information about flim direction learning....cost..qualification etc......
