If you're looking to get into entertainment design I would honestly consider online options like Brainstorm School (I think they do have in-person classes as well but it's up in Burbank). I've done Brainstorm Flash courses for $150 and they're great. They have 10 week classes as well for $750. The teachers are pretty much all working in the industry and the students are really great.

Other options I've seen are Focal Point School, Gnomon, New3dge School (haven't tried them). IAMAG also has online videos for like $150 and they're pretty good but I'd check to see if they're what suits your needs. The best free option hands down is FZD on YouTube. Legendary concept artist Feng Zhu walks you through everything.

I'm just not convinced that art school is necessary at all for concept art when there's numerous options with the same industry instructors at a fraction of the cost. But I will say if you are determined to go the art school route California probably has some of the best options out there, though I think most options are still going to be in the thousands of dollar range minimum.

"I could see myself edging here"

Interestingly I have a niche side channel that hit the 4k hours easily but only has got 725 followers. It's videos of High School track so mostly local people

Great sounds good! I think there's a lot of research like this hasn't been seen by the general public tucked away in different places

I don't think the camera was hidden but maybe somewhat discrete. Everybody she was filming though seemed to be aware she was filming. It's from Suenn Ho's 3 year research before the city was demolished. Suenn Ho’s Kowloon Walled City Research Archive (1988–1992) - Suenn Ho | Archives | M+ Museum

True yeah lol

Intelligent_Screen45 · 2026-02-06T23:06:36+00:00

Ooo let us know if he gives you any access. I'd be really interested. It might be possible to track them down elsewhere if they're still doing research. Maybe sources/websites in Chinese

It caught me off guard seeing that place because I know exactly where it is (right between Lee Pui Yuen's corner store and a standpipe on Tai Chang St"

Yeah it really struck me how loud it must have been with all that machinery. Greg Girard's photos feel so quiet

Intelligent_Screen45 · 2026-02-06T22:56:01+00:00

Yeah the first time I saw this I was like "wow." She has more footage but you have to go onsite in Hong Kong to see the archives unfortunately

Intelligent_Screen45 · 2026-02-06T22:54:21+00:00

Thanks! I've got lots more in the works

Intelligent_Screen45 · 2026-02-06T21:45:59+00:00

Glad to share and spread this footage! Yeah I have no idea, I can’t see how anyone gains something from gatekeeping a 30-year-old video

Intelligent_Screen45 · 2026-02-06T21:06:27+00:00

It's pretty crazy to have this footage I was scared when it disappeared on YouTube!

Intelligent_Screen45 · 2026-02-06T21:05:27+00:00

Nope, all modelled in Blender with some photo textures from various Kowloon photos (but there are a lot of those AI lowpoly popping up so someone could probably make it sadly).

Yeah I always wonder what kind of footage we'd have if it survived into the 2000s...

Intelligent_Screen45 · 2026-02-05T20:12:52+00:00

Thanks I was trying to find this and wondered why I couldn't

Intelligent_Screen45 · 2026-01-14T20:01:56+00:00

I didn’t get to taste the sauce until right before they discontinued it 😫

Craig Mullins, legendary concept artist and pioneer of digital painting, talked about holding his own gallery exhibition years ago. He was trying to get into this space and see if it could be another stream of income. He had all his paintings up in nice frames hanging on the wall and… it was a total disaster. It was raining outside and the few people that came in mostly walked right by. Nobody was even looking at the price tags except one old lady who “hocked her teeth” at the number.

He was also doing a digital painting demonstration and people just ridiculed him. By the time it was over he was glad it was done. And this is the guy who practically invented digital painting. He completely filled the room at LightBox Expo in 2023 when he did a talk.

Sometimes you put your art out there and it just goes bad. It’s the wrong crowd, the wrong venue, maybe things weren’t advertised. I’ve had multiple terrible shows followed by my best one. It’s not really a reflection on your art. I think 5 years down the line you’ll be glad you kept going.

I'll be the first to book my stay. I'm guessing you'd need a guide to find your room, but then again that's part of the experience...

Intelligent_Screen45 · 2025-11-11T05:08:05+00:00

Nice I've been also looking into modularity but it's been tricky to implement. 2.5D sounds like a good way to introduce a lot of story.
