Some teachers follow a script.

Ganz wrote the damn playbook.

While others cover the curriculum, he covers the student, anticipates their fears, dismantles their doubts, and rebuilds their courage in silence.

Not by speeches.
Not by status.
But by precision.

"He KNOWS how to teach, from the most basics to very complex knowledge... I really admire Ganz and hope that everyone gets to experience and learn from someone like him."

"His knowledge of all things visual effects is seemingly endless... what I found most inspiring was his love for the photographic image, his passion for teaching and his dedication to the pursuit of realistic beauty in the digital world."

"Ganz always brought the best out of me, always encouraging me to do shots that were hard and slightly above my skill range which would allow me to improve continuously."

These are not compliments.
They are records.

Etched into weekend lectures, late-night message replies, and reel reviews no one else had the time for.

"He makes complex subjects more appealing and keeps finding ways to innovate his lectures for every new class, so the projects always feel authentic and challenging."

"He is a quicker and more accurate resource for any questions a student would have than anything they might find online."

"He’s there for his students day and night, even after they graduate."

This is what it looks like when a mentor doesn’t stop at your questions.He rewrites the way you think.

"He doesn’t just teach art or the software, he also taught me soft skills and how to survive this industry."

"When you sit down in Ganz’s classes you learn about compositing, but you learn many life lessons too."

"He would challenge my assumptions... and it has helped me solve all sorts of other problems since."

"Sometimes I forget that Ganz is an actual person and not a robot with almost as much knowledge as Google... Then he proceeds to tell a bad joke and I remember that he is in fact human."

There are teachers who train your hands.
Ganz trains your eye.
Your choices.
Your resilience.

"He’s completely different from ordinary teachers who just teach you during classes and don’t care about students’ career after graduation."

"He knows what each of his students is able to achieve before they even know it themselves."

"One of the last quotes I remember him saying in class was, 'I want you to get a job more than you want to get a job.'"

"Out of all the other teachers I’ve had, I can say that Ganz was the Gandalf of my Frodo Baggins."

These are not accolades.
They are echoes of someone who didn’t just teach.
He built a standard first.
Then he built Alpha Chromatica.
This is what teaching looks like when it’s done with total commitment.
