FAQ of Concept Art Diploma Program

[@aranyak1881]

Thank you for these videos, it was hard to find other information about syn studio, this video was very helpful.

[@CitraCerita]

I too want to be a Concept Artist, and watched your videos regarding about the Concept Art Diploma and things that came with it. I love it, it's very inspiring and helps me to actually conceptualize my goal. Watching your progress from each video also brings me a smile, it's short, concise, and motivating :) Thank you for sharing!

[@cecec7102]

hey, if you don't mind answering, did you get in ?

[@vmokry]

My inbox should able to take some rest now. ^^

[@creationwithbeast12]

Where should I message you to review my portfolio, Just to know if Syn studio will accept it or not? Please..

[@prashansa2658]

Hello! Came across just the information i needed about syn studio! A big thank you, i was wonderful about the discord link you mentioned, would love to join.

[@LeaElfArt]

Can we take this course online without having to go to Montreal? For example, if someone lives in Toronto. And there's still the pandemic

[@shay256]

Great timing :) Thank you for your video I guess the chart is in canadian dollar? Regarding the studies - things your were satisfied or not with the program? stuff you would do differently - like giving emphasis on certain subjects, or learning something on your own in advance? any thoughts & other tips are welcome!

[@vmokry]

Hi Shay, you're welcome. Is there anything in the video that would imply using USD? :-) Regarding the studies' satisfaction, I cannot give you a resolution. I have a master's degree in art education, came from a country with a different education system, and I was older than the majority of the students. I am biased. Nothing is perfect. You might find some issues at every art school around the world. However, the curriculum and my results were strong enough to make me employable, so that is positive. :) (edited for clarity)

[@robertojiron339]

Thanks so much for the video. I was wondering how can i look for a loan? I cant find any for Syn Studio.

[@vmokry]

Well, you need someone with the spare money and then his/her trust. This is how it worked for millennia.

[@Bastonivo]

Hello. Thank you very much for your videos. They are precious to me because they come from someone who has been in the school. I applied to the Portfolio Review for the Concept Art Diploma and I have gotten an interview. Sincerely, I am nervous about that. It was hard to get one, and I hope to do it well. Anyway, although I don’t know if I will be accepted finally after the meeting, I am thinking what I should do if I have the opportunity to study there. Despite the pandemic, I would like to ask you if you consider the experience worth. I mean, it’s a huge amount of money, and I would spend the whole savings of my life if I do the program. I don’t want to realize in the future that all my effort were for nothing. I am full of doubts about living in Montreal, learning, relationships, networking, how difficult is to find job after finish... Syn Studio looks amazing and exciting, but I would like to be realistic beyond my dreams. I hope you read my comment because I am assessing all the possibilities. Thanks again.

[@vmokry]

Hi Jose, thanks for the comment. I understand your doubts. I don't know your socioeconomic background, age, level of stubbornness. For example, if you have to support your parents or feed your children, you might have different risk awareness than someone with no responsibilities coming from the middle class. Was the experience worth it? I cannot answer this yet. Ultimately, you cannot outsource your outcomes. In life, there are not good or bad decisions - they are just decisions. If you want to talk more or ask some of my former classmates, join my Discord Art community. But the door you have to find yourself. :-)

[@Bastonivo]

@@vmokry @Vmokry Thanks for your reply! In my case, I don't have any responsibilities. I will decide after the interview. Oh, I would like to talk more about your experience there. I have just joined to your discord community. In a while I introduce myself there. Thank you again!

[@hitGUN]

Hey! Thank you for the videos - I've been thinking about either applying for the program or the boot camp (when they become in-person). Do they provide the materials? Wacom tablets, photoshop programs, and computers?

[@vmokry]

Hi Stella, I answer this in my other videos. For the Diploma program yes, Syn Studio will provide you with everything you need to succeed. :-)

[@ar_Yana]

hello! Thanks so much for making these videos they give me so much piece of mind. Can I ask if there are any requirements or guidelines for the portfolios? I don't see any anywhere on the website haha

[@vmokry]

IIRC they send them to you after you apply on the website.

[@ar_Yana]

Haha. No. I showed just better pieces. :-)

[@aarotul9035]

Hi i wanted to ask, does syn studio have scholarships for foreign students?

[@wns6516]

Hi! I’ve been searching through the Syn Studio website to look for a way to apply a portfolio, but I can’t find it. Should I apply my portfolio to the syn studio email or somewhere else? Thank you for the video!

[@vmokry]

Yeah, their website could be better. The form is here at bottom. Have a great day! diploma.synstudio.ca/concept-art-diploma-admission/

[@sugarUndergraund]

Hello! I found out about this school earlier and I was really interest in it. But Im worried about the experience :( Do you have to have experience as a concept artist or you can get in there and learn to be a concept artist from 0? Thank you so much for this video!

[@vmokry]

Hi May! What matters is your portfolio, not the work experience.

[@aniketkumar3594]

I want to be a concept artist in future so i was thinking of purchasing the online course for concept art on the syn studio website . What are your thoughts on this should i purchase these courses or not.

[@vmokry]

Hi Aniket. I have no experience with online courses, so I cannot provide you with advice.

[@PeteiAaltojen]

Question: is GPA important for admission?

[@vmokry]

No. What matters is the quality of your portfolio.

[@PeteiAaltojen]

I'm 15 now and i'm going to be 25 when i'll be able to apply to SynStudio 😓

[@vmokry]

Why do you have to wait 10 years, Lotte?

[@PeteiAaltojen]

@@vmokry because i have to grow up, earn enough money and develop my skills 😅 and some extra things to do before moving to Canada. I hope nothing will change and i'll keep going to my goal

[@yjh7863]

Hello Vmokry, I applied for this diploma program and have been asked for an interview in January. Can you share your experience with that? Is the concept artist who has reviewed your portfolio going to interview you? What questions do they usually ask? Thank you very much!

[@saltlord4874]

Hey man, I've applied for the course and got rejected. Could you share with me your portfolio, so I can see where I stand right now.
