According to The Rookies: "schools that replicate a production studio experience provide a great advantage to students because it encourages team work, a strong understanding of pipelines, scheduling experience, resource management and problem solving." 

This is why we have such a strong focus on group work at Escape Studios.  All our courses at Escape Studios are designed with industry feedback, and industry continually stresses the importance of teamwork. Are students able to work successfully in teams? Individual talent is important, but a successful production requires a collaborative effort.
