As an artist who wants to be involved working on visual effects for films commercials and television shows, one would like to have a choice of what field they would like to persue. 

However, I have been robbed over $9,000 back when it started around 2013 when I approched the doors of the studio who works on feature films etc after paying my fee. 

When you approch the studio and become settled in, they explain the critera of the course on what they will be teaching for the next 10 weeks. You only have two choices while studying. 

Remeber, there are over 20 fields within this industry. You only get to learn 2 fields. You dont have any other choice.

 

Beware of this company. If you want to be a 3d tracker or a rotoscope artist, be my guest and contact them.  Just remmeber, the first intermediate wage for a rotoscope artist and a 3d tracking position is $40,000 AUS.

Other fields pay high wages such as an animation artist for a junior roll is $60,000. 

This company is not up front about there course critera outline. 

You are introduced to other fields but not longer then 20mins. 

The HR (human Resources) person Marcus Wells assists you with your resume, but is not on the ball with feedback from the work you produce in your own showreels you create off the premises at the studio. 

Looking for work is left up to you as they stop commuincation with you once you have payed your fee of $10,000AUS (Latest figures online)

 

This company should get there facts in place, anouncing to customers (students) what will be involved over the next 3 months.

This course is an intensive 10-week training on-site here at RSP, where students have the benefit of tutoring from professionals working on internationally recognised films. The aim is for graduates to have a skill level which makes them employable by film visual effects faciilities with extremely high professional standards. Certification by Flinders University means the course content is ratified by Flinders, and the certification is globally recognised.

To date, our graduates have been very successful in finding roles within the industry. We currently have five of our graduates working within our facility, and others have gone on to find work in the industry both within Australia and internationally.

Thanks for your post.  The course, which is a collaboration between RSP and Flinders University, offers students the opportunity to develop their skills in a relatively narrow set of highly specialised skills which are in strong demand by industry.  The course has been very successful to date and a number of students have successfully gained employment.  In fact only yesterday (11/12/14) RSP employed a further 3 graduates from the last cohort.  More information about this is posted on their Facebook site- https://www.facebook.com/rspedu

Also with the studies you have infront of you at the studio, you are working on actual plates from features, however, you are not alowed to have these on your reel from all the work you have done with over 9 weeks of work. You are not alowed to work on your own stuff during class.

 

This company should get there facts in place, anouncing to customers (students) what will be involved over the next 3 months. (Latest update below)

Aparantly they now have info regarding what they will be teaching. But at $10,000 AUS... would you?
