Escapees Contribute to 2024 BAFTA Nominees

BAFTA Nominated Escapees in 2024
Congratulations to the many Escapees were awarded screen credits on BAFTA-nominated films this year. 

No fewer than 23 Escapees worked on Guardians of The Galaxy 3 - which was nominated in the category of Best Visual Effects.  Other Escapees worked on The Zone of Interest, Barbie, Spider-Man - Across the Spiderverse and Chicken Run - Dawn of The Nugget.  

Escapees in Industry
We have many thousands of Escapees working in the animation and VFX industries around the world, many of who are working on and have worked on award-winning films.

In 2023 Escape Studios congratulated the 63 Escapees who contributed to Oscar-nominated movies last year, including Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, The Batman and also Elvis.

Not all of these films are animated - but many have "invisible VFX"; vfx which isn't flashy or showy, but allows a level of realism in film that gives directors much more freedom and creativity.

2022 was also a good year for graduates of Escape Studios.  At the 2022 Oscars, 71 of our Escapees worked on the Oscar-nominated films. 

Take a look at the infographic on the right to see which films our Escapees worked on.

Among the Escapees who worked on No Time To Die was Escapee Tom De Landsheere, who described the experience: "No Time to Die has been a great project to work on. I think the film looks stunning and I am really proud of the sequences we delivered with the team at Cinesite. My role was as a Lighting TD so I worked on multiple sequences. My main challenge was lighting the lethal gas in the scene where Bond and Paloma are infiltrating a Spectre party."
