Meet the artists behind award-winning films!

Every year we host the VFX Festival, to bring together every corner of the creative community, including Animation, Motion Graphics, Visual Effects (VFX) and Game Art.

The aim of the festival is to give promising talent a chance to explore the best of the screen industries and allow professionals to share and expand their knowledge. Attendees can expect to find insights into award-winning productions, inspiring expert-led presentations, and careers advice.

Showcase the results of your hard work!

We’re incredibly proud of the quality of work that gets put on display at our annual End of Year Student Showcases. It’s a big event for our final year students and a culmination of all their studying and hard work at Escape Studios.

The showcase is also a chance for students to show off their amazing work and a great opportunity to meet recruiters from industry and talk about opportunities for jobs and summer internships.
