What former students have to say!

  • Andrew Howard, Post Production Lead
    Salesforce

    “When we faced an inherited production problem, we turned to Kalika, who quickly grasped the issue. She delivered a solution that reduced production time for the task by over 80% — saving 3 weeks! Years later, this solution is still in use, continuing to save us time and money while bringing productions to completion more quickly and efficiently.”

  • Katerina Barry, Executive Producer - Video
    White & Case LLP

    “Kalika is a motion graphics expert who brings enthusiasm, patience and flexibility to her teaching. Over the course of several years taking her classes, I was able to expand my job description from digital design to video production and art direction. I now spend 80% of my time working on video and motion graphics projects. That would not have been possible without Kalika.”

  • David Manzo, Senior Marketing Designer
    Mythical Games

    “Before Kalika's class, I had very little experience with motion design. It was a game changer! After her course, my confidence skyrocketed: I learned timeless After Effects techniques that I still reference today, informing other areas like visual effects and 3D, even many years later.”

  • Carla B.
    Filmmaker & Editor

    “My heart was set on getting an MFA in Film, but I only had minimal experience. Within 6 months of my KalikaFX mentorship I assembled a film portfolio, and was accepted into the New School, CalArts & City College! I couldn’t have taken this step without Kalika’s guidance and support. I earned my MFA from CalArts, and continue to use editing techniques I’ve learned from her.”
