Bring Your Own Animation Tonight, Monday 23 January

The Lukin - BYOA!

"Bring Your Own Animation" (BYOA) is an animation event that takes place every month in London.

This month it is being held tonight, Monday 23 January, at 6.30pm at the Lukin pub, 4 Conway Street in central London W1T 6BB.

Anyone can bring their animation or just come along for drinks.  If you are a student, or a professional who's working on a shot or a reel, bring your work and get feedback from Professional Animators.

We strongly recommend that our animation students attend events such as this one; it's a great chance to meet working animators and get feedback on your demo reel.

What is BYOA event all about?

It's a chance for students to bring their work and get feedback from professional animators working in animation, VFX and games.

Where and when is it happening?

The Lukin pub, 4 Conway Street in central London W1T 6BB, upstairs. The event takes place tonight from 6.30pm until closing time. We recommend getting there early so you have a good chance of getting some personal feedback. The early bird gets the reviews.

Why go?

Because there is nothing like getting feedback on your work from professional animators to help you get your reel to the next level. Industry professionals know what needs to go on an animation reel in order to get hired.  It's also a great way to find out what's going on the industry - who is working on what and (most importantly) who is hiring, and what sort of animation style they are looking for.

How much does it cost?

Nothing. The event is free!

How should I bring my work?
Bring your work on your laptop, or on a USB or external hard drive. They probably won't have a good internet connection.
