A veteran visual effects supervisor and a teaching desire = Mark Bénard - it’s not an over-statement but this is what Mark really is. As a student under his supervision at VFS, I learned many things about visual effects. In just 6 months I learned more than in last 3 years of working in the motion graphics industry. Mark’s years of industry experience is valuable and priceless, his in-depth knowledge and care of details has prepared me well for pursuing a career and also helped me to land the job here.
