Gnomon School of Visual Effects

A school is truly defined by its faculty and curriculum: A computer lab alone does not make a digital media program. A truly comprehensive program is brought to life by instructors who are respected members of their field. As no one person can master every aspect of visual effects production, experienced individuals who each have their own areas of expertise teach our courses.
