Escape Studios provides a unique opportunity for you to learn from real industry professionals. The courses don't just help you become a good artist, they also provide a learning environment that mimics industry practices as closely as possible and really prepares you for your transition from university to industry.

The course at Escape Studios gave me the core skills needed to become a Compositor and an in-depth knowledge of the whole VFX pipeline. Being able to participate in group projects helped me to develop technical, artistic and soft skills at the same time.
