Film schools and universities around the country are embracing Digieffects, their academic-friendly policies, and their commitment to providing extremely high quality VFX plug-ins at affordable prices. As faculties and school administrators continue to grapple with dwindling budgets themselves, they're also seeing an opportunity to also teach their students another reality of the profession - doing more, faster and with less.

"Our VFX suites and a la carte plug-ins are affordable by design," says Robert Sharp, president of Digieffects. "And for the academic community, who are traditionally shackled by small budgets, the challenge of enabling and teaching their students based on the most cutting-edge post production technology on the market today is that much greater. So we sought to change all that."

And schools nationwide are responding.

"We've seen significant growth among our academic customers, and I'm personally pleased with this trend. A big part of why I do what I do is my desire to give back and remember all those who helped me get where I am today - I am indebted. And what's professionally gratifying for me is when I look across the extensive list of film schools and universities who have integrated our software into their curriculums. And the growth in academia is not soley due to affordablity; students today are not only learning how to use Digieffects to add smoke to a shot, or glow or muzzle flashes, they're also learning the importance of workflow integration, performance and working under real-world constraints. And they'll take that valuable experience with them as they enter this competitive market."

And if you take a look at just a sub-set of the film schools and universities that have fully embraced Digieffects, you see an impressive who's who in academia. Just some of the schools that have integrated Digieffects into their post production and VFX workflow curriculums include:
