,Based in London, the centre of the UK’s creative industries, this innovative VFX course places you at the heart of the action. It aims to give you a dynamic, contemporary and hands-on experience as you learn to work with advanced materials and techniques.

The course has been designed with input from some of the leading effects facilities, including DNeg, and developed with advice and guidelines from the professional body Creative Skillset. 

In lectures and hands-on workshops, you will be able to build your skills and knowledge. Alongside your technical skills development, we will introduce you to regular industry practices. By taking part in 'class crits' you will get used to the industry use of 'dailies' – production meetings where VFX artists get together to share and assess their work as it stands. 

You will learn how to make your work both imaginative and realistic, using professional software, equipment and tools, including:

• Maya
• Nuke
• Zbrush
• Substance Painter
• 3D Equalizer

You will also have excellent technical resources at your disposal, including:

• computer labs
• a Vicon Motion Capture system
• a fully equipped green screen studio
• professional cameras
• professional lighting
• LIDAR scanner

In addition, you will have 24-hour access to a new library and learning resource centre. 

We will also provide learning opportunities outside of the classroom. Trips to VFX facilities in Soho and industry talks with artists and recruiters will give you direct contact with people already working in the business.

• roto artist
• compositor
• texture artist
• 3D generalist
• animator
• environment artist
• matchmove artist
• visualiser
