Escape Studios is based in London and focus on creating the next generation of VFX artists with its VFX, Game Art, and Motion Graphics courses – find out more...

Escape Studios has a proud tradition of producing new talent in the VFX industry, with students who have gone on to work on incredible films such as the Oscar-winning Interstellar, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy and the hotly anticipated Star Wars.

Creating the next generation of VFX artists

Escape Studios was created for one reason – to provide a solution for the skills gap between the visual effects (VFX) industry and those who wanted to become part of it. The industry needed a steady stream of fully qualified, highly skilled professionals, and passionate, enthusiastic artists needed an institution where the standards were high and industry-focused.

This high-quality, industry-focused education has opened the doors for many would-be professional artists looking to move into the field.

Taran Spear is one such success. Since graduating, Taran has found work at Electric Theatre Collective in London, which was set up by another past Escape Studios student. His advice for success? "Work hard and keep up with industry trends in software, as standards are constantly evolving. Out of all the people I studied with at Escape, every person who stayed late after class and worked really hard to learn the software and techniques is now working in the industry. I wanted to work in VFX and be the person who can say "I created that!”"

From student to tutor: Invisible Visual Effects with Taran Spear

Catarina Goncalves is another past alumni who joined Escape Studios on their Advanced Compositing for VFX course and landed her first industry job as a runner at Academy Award-winning studio, Double Negative within 3 months of completing her course.

"You learn a lot within a short period of time," she says, "and everyone is really supportive, which meant a lot to me as I didn't know anyone in the UK."
