VFX Festival on January 28th hosted by Escape Studios

Escape Studios VFX Festival 2015

Escape Studios are running their latest VFX Festival on January 28th at the VUE Cinema in London's Shepherd's Bush. To find out more, and sign up, follow this link. The event is an excellent way to find out about careers in animation and visual effects, what jobs are out here and how to break in to the industry.

Escape Studios have excellent connections in the visual effects industry, and they tend to attract highly qualified speakers working at the cutting edge of VFX.

For example, a few days ago they invited Paul Franklin, VFX Supervisor on Inception, Dark Knight, and Interstellar, to give a free talk on what visual effects supervisors do.

Last years' VFX festival included plenty of workshops and classes to introduce students to the world of visual effects.

Day 1 is for newbies, Day 2 for enthusiasts, and Say 3 for seasoned professionals. You can see the schedule below.

We highly recommend that our students travel to London on January 28th. The capital is an easy day trip from Wycombe and, if you take the free shuttle bus to the Uxbridge campus, it only costs the price of a tube fare into London.

See you there!
