Digital Game Art (2024)
“Studying at RU has better trained and disciplined me in professionalism and organisation. It allowed me to gain insight into what is expected when entering the industry. With all the feedback given by my lecturers, I was able to become a capable professional. As an intern for a media production company, I work on the VFX and video editing side of things. I was able to apply the effects and tricks learned in my Audio Visual Compositing class to my work, ensuring it looks interesting and appealing.”
