"Getting to use the film gear at SAE was awesome. I never thought I’d be handling a $48,000 camera as a student. It was great to use industry standard equipment, because since graduating, that's what I’ve been using."

Aldo Arechar | Audio Engineer (Hans Zimmer, Lion King, Dune)
"Getting to meet other creatives [at SAE] who had other passions was very satisfying, as we were then able to collaborate on music and other projects."

“The course at SAE offered a wide variety of disciplines. I got to learn writing, live action, animation, game design, compositing, tracking – basically everything you would need to step into wherever you want in the VFX industry.”

Bethany Moran | UX Designer (NSW Government Department of Planning and Environment)
“I absolutely loved my time at SAE; it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. All the teachers I had were very different in terms of their skills – some were knowledgeable in graphic design while others had a business mindset. I felt my tutors really knew me and cared about my career and where I was wanting to go.”
