The Gnomon School of Visual Effects was launched on the premise that those who are actively working in the special effects industry would be in the best position to train others working in the industry, and a classroom setting where pros teach other pros would be the best way to bring about a grand sharing of techniques and ideas.

Soon after the school opened for admission, however, it turned out that most of the applications were from folks who wanted to get into the industrynot people who were already in the business and looking to learn new skills.

Furthermore, many students entered wanting to work in the world of video games, rather than television or moviesBut if you'd like to do any of these things, there are few places better suited to build your skills and find a job.
