Creative Workshops are Back!

It's all about Teamwork

Creative Workshops are back! If you have applied for one of our undergraduate Animation, Games or VFX courses, for entry in September 2022, you may well have been invited to attend a Creative Workshop here at Escape Studios.

Creative Workshops are a chance for us to get to know you, for you to get to know us, and for you to find out more about what we do at Escape Studios.  In March 2020 our Creative Workshops moved online, but now we are delighted to be able to welcome our prospective students back in person.

Creative Workshops at Escape Studios

Our Creative Workshops are all about making sure that your chosen course is a good fit for you. The Creative Workshop is divided into two parts - a portfolio review, followed by a creative task. 




Creative Task
You will be invited to join a small group and carry out a creative task. You will work in small teams on a creative brief, coming up with ideas, bringing them to life, and presenting them for feedback.  This task has been devised by one of our industry partners, and is the kind of challenge you might get in a real VFX/Animation/Games studio.

Teamwork

Teamwork at Escape Studios

Teamwork is very much at the heart of what we do at Escape Studios, largely because this is how the creative industries work.  Our Escapees go on to work in industry, working together in teams on films, games or TV Series.  Learning how to co-operate successfully with other artists is a key life skill.

Have fun

Most of all, relax, and enjoy the Creative Workshop. It is designed to be fun and engaging, and to bring out your natural inventiveness and creativity.  We look forward to meeting you!
