Escape Students Attend "Bring Your Own Animation"

Kevin Richards and Escape Students attend BYOA

BYOA (Bring Your Own Animation) is a monthly event that we recommend all our students and Escapees attend. 

BYOA takes place in London every month at a pub in Soho.  Recently Escape Studios' tutor animation Kevin Richards met with a number of Escape Studios students and Escapees, reviewing demo reels and getting feedback on their work. 

About BYOA 

Organised by the London chapter of SIGGRAPH

Organised by the London chapter of SIGGRAPH, BYOA is a free animation event that takes place every month at a pub in central London. To find out the next event, take a look at the SIGGRAPH Facebook Page.  If you are a student or a recent graduate who is working on a shot or an updated reel, bring your work on a USB (good), hard drive (better) or even your own laptop (best of all) - and get feedback from professional animators.

Why Attend BYOA

BYOA is a chance for students to bring their work and get feedback from working animators. It's also a chance to find out the gossip - who is hiring, when, and for what kind of roles.

What kind of demo reels are studios looking for? Who is hiring juniors? Industry professionals will know what kind of work needs to go on an animation reel in order to get hired for the next big project.

Cost

BYOA is free to attend.
