After completing my undergraduate degree, I chose to further my education and specialize in the field of visual effects by enrolling in a one-year post-graduate program at Seneca College, Toronto, Ontario. The Visual Effects for Film and Television program at Seneca College is highly regarded in the industry and I was able to thrive in this challenging and competitive environment.

" I have known Onur since he was a student in my Visual Effects program at Seneca College in 2021. He has consistently demonstrated an excellent work ethic and constantly created excellent shots. Onur is a highly motivated, organized, and detail-oriented compositor who pays careful attention to the task at hand.
He is a great problem solver and was always eager to ask questions and learn. Onur has always been a team player and is able to work well with peers. He has strong interpersonal skills and is able to communicate effectively with others. He is also able to take constructive criticism and use it to improve his work. Over the course of his time in the program, Onur has proven himself to be a capable and reliable visual effects artist. Something I noticed was that he was always willing to put in the extra work to create the best possible shot.
His dedication and passion for his craft are something I have come to admire. I have no doubt that Onur is an asset to any team and would be a great addition to any organization. "

" I met with Onur Can Yol in 2016 as a student in the Cinema and Television undergraduate program at BahçeÅŸehir University. As both the chair of the department and a professor, I had a chance to closely observe Onur Can as an outstanding student.
In the core classes of our department, Art, Culture and Society and Art of Storytelling, Onur Can not only ranked as one of the top students in both classes but also displayed a genuine interest in a wide range of topics.
During his studies at BahçeÅŸehir, Onur Can not only maintained a successful professional career as a motion graphics and visual effects artist in some of Turkey's major post-production companies but also successfully balanced his studies and full-time work.
Onur Can is a cheerful, alert, resilient, and curious person who has applied this sense of interest to his academic and professional career. So far, he has had a very successful young career and I am confident that he has the industriousness necessary to continue his success in the future. "
