University of Advancing Technology

It is an excellent school for people who want to learn digital video production and independent film.

UAT's Digital Video Bachelor of Arts program, under the direction of Professor Paul DeNigris, has grown so much in quality over the last 5 years that it is completely worth the time to check it out. It was good in 2007 - in 2012 - it's just wonderful. The students complete award winning films each year and have for the last 5 years. The program is small and competitive so students get individual attention. Also, the program is focused exclusively on visual effects in the context of complete film-making. So you'll experience the entire range of "below the line" positions through pre-production to actual filming to post production. I would recommend it to anyone interested in visual effects and I have seen a lot of programs out there. Check it out and see if what I am saying is true.
