Case Study: Vancouver Film School empowers creative collaboration with Perforce Helix Core

Vancouver Film School equips 2,000 students with Helix Core from Perforce

Vancouver Film School (VFS) needed to integrate industry-standard tools into its post-secondary entertainment arts programs to better prepare students for real-world careers. They sought a version control system that was prevalent in the professional world, technically superior to open-source options, and backed by reliable support. This challenge led them to partner with Perforce and implement their product, Helix Core.

The solution from Perforce provided students with 2,000 free educational licenses for Helix Core, allowing them to collaborate on projects and track all digital assets from initial sketches to final renders. By adopting Perforce Helix Core, VFS students gained vital experience in source management and production workflows. The measurable impact is that graduates are now equipped with industry-relevant skills, and due to its success in the Game Design program, VFS is planning to extend the use of Perforce Helix Core to other programs like web programming and motion graphics.
