Escape Studios Visits BlueBolt VFX

Blue Bolt VFX

Many thanks to VFX house Blue Bolt which has generously hosted our students at Escape Studios for an in-person visit to their Clerkenwell premises.

Blue Bolt is the award-winning VFX studio behind many films and TV shows.  Our students gained valuable insight into the technical and creative processes behind modern VFX, as well as advice on showreels, careers and - most importantly - what it takes to break into the industry today.

The event was led by Will Hughes, Escape Studios' Talent Development Manager.

Will Hughes is the Talent Development Manager at Escape Studios.  One of Will's key roles is to meet with our students, recent graduates and Escapees to help them to establish their careers in the animation, games and vfx industries. 

At a time of anxiety about opportunities in the creative industries, we asked Will to tell us about his work and what, exactly, he does to support our students and Escapees.
