Escape VFX Careers Guide

Escape Studios, now part of Pearson College London, has long been one of the best places to get a first class training in VFX. Among the many resources offered students is the annual Careers Guide, an invaluable handbook for any aspiring visual effects artist - including animators.  Escape Studios track the latest trends in the digital market, focusing especially on the skills that are currently in high demand. After all, our goal is to place students in well-paid work in the best visual effects houses in London and overseas. We recommend that all of our students download a copy.  Best of all, it's absolutely free.

Escape Studios London

Escape Studios are based in Shepherd's Bush in West London.  Our short courses are a lot like a well structured university course - only compressed into much less time. Sign up for one of our courses and be prepared to work evenings and weekends to get the most out of the course, but also know that you are getting a first-class training with all the necessary skills to land that crucial first job in the industry. 

How is the visual effects industry doing in London? Pretty well, really.  In fact, business is booming. London is more than ever seen as a global destination for top-quality visual effects work, and the UK Government supports the industry with a valuable tax credit.  The pool of talent in London is ever-growing, and we want our students to be a part of that success story.

So read the Escape Studios careers guide, and get educated - it applies just as much to work in the USA, or Canada, or Australia - or indeed anywhere where the visual effects industry is growing. All you need to do is register and log in.
