VFX Project
Home Sweet Home is a short film about friendship and family. The film was a collaboration between three departments: Animation, 3D VFX, and Compositing. Working in a team, our students pulled together to deliver a strong piece of work, showing what can be done when students collaborate successfully on group projects.

Escape Method
Team project work forms a part of what we call the The Escape Method - our own unique blend of individual personal tuition, online tutorials & industry feedback, and group project work - all of which combines to bring our students to a professional level of skill.
