― A practical program to establish your "creative core" ―
■ What is "TILL"?
TILL is a 100-day practical program for video creators, where students and instructors work together to help students establish their "creative core."
Participants will take a step back from client work and, with the guidance of leading creators, thoroughly delve into their own expression to complete "the one piece they truly wanted to create."
Its characteristic is not input-centric education, but rather the reconstruction of thought and technique centered on creative production, providing an opportunity for creators at a career turning point to concentrate on their craft.
■ Program Features
1. 100-day Mentored Program
Experienced creators will serve as "Creative Mentors," engaging with each student's individual expression.
2. Small Class Size, Emphasis on Practical Production
Instead of lecture-centric learning, the program offers a practical curriculum with the goal of producing works that express one's own creative core.
3. Ability to Articulate Your "Creative Core"
As production progresses, students will articulate the core of their own expression and acquire their "creative core," fostering their independence as creators.
■ 100-Day Process
This program consists of the following five phases:
Phase 1: DIG
Phase 2: COMPARE
Phase 3: DESIGN
Phase 4: CREATE
Phase 5: DEFINE
The process begins with articulating one's preferences, values, and current position, and ultimately establishes one's own style by creating works through interviews with instructors.

■ Representative's Greeting
A 100-day program to create videos solely for yourself.
There are moments when working in video, one suddenly pauses.
Taking up a camera, or acquiring a Mac, and making a business card as a "video creator."
Completing numerous jobs, accumulating skills and achievements, and enriching one's portfolio.
Yet, sometimes the question arises, "Is this truly the expression I wanted to create?"
That is surely a signal to pause, and a sign to move forward.
Video work is busy and demanding.
It's not easy to make time to deeply confront oneself while continuing to work.
That's why we launched this program.
Step away from client work and, for 100 days, confront video solely for yourself.
With the guidance of creators with style, delve deep, get lost, and create the one piece you arrive at.
We are earnestly aiming for this place to be the "next starting point" for your expression.
