Thanks to all for your advices, letz see what can I do now.cheers

after 3 years , do we get degree certificate in this course?

FX School has earned the endorsement of some of the biggest and best names in the industry, including Sippy Productions, Ram Gopal Varma, and Mahesh Bhatt.

FX School's students and faculty have completed a full length feature film with Ram Gopal Varma and top stars in a flat 33 days from the day shooting started to the day the film will release in theatres (March 18, 2011).

This is a revolution in film-making on many counts:
1. Speed (shoot was completed in less than 5 days!)
2. Workflow used to deliver in such a tight timeline
3. Budget -- Rs. 4.7 lakhs
4. Equipment -- entire film was shot using the latest digital technology
5. No lighting equipment -- shot entirely in available light

No other institute in India has ever been able to execute such a project.

Watch the film when it's released to judge the quality for yourself.

So far, FX School's placement record has been an unblemished 100%. Most students are recruited prior to their course completion and, on average, have 2 to 3 offers.

how helpful is Whistling Woods International for (film making course) especially and placement wise please help?

Fx School is one of the finest institutes when it comes to Film making. It provides you with hands on practical knowledge about your areas of interest. Many of the students have worked in Ram Gopal Verma's movies. FX School offers many courses which are designed to help you discover your true potential. The faculty is a renowned one and very helpful when it comes to solving your queries. I was a student and I am very thankful to FX School as it made me realise where my true talent lies!
