We love to celebrate the success of our creative community, and this time is no different!

Today, we’d like to highlight Roberto Valent, VFX alum and Compositor at Industrial Light & Magic (@ilmvfx).

“Looking back, studying was a very exciting part of my life, a time when we could challenge ourselves, push our skills further and work towards reaching our potential.”

It’s great to be able to watch his talent shine on the big screen, and he’s worked as a Compositor on some major productions, most recently including Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Last House.

What a great example for the next generation of artists!

This September, a group of our postgraduate students had the opportunity to look behind the scenes at a world-leading visual effects and colour grading studio at Time Based Arts in Shoreditch! Organised by our Talent Development Manager Will Hughes, the students were shown around the colourful and creative studio premises by Operations Manager Harry Jones. 

Afterwards, they got to hear from 3D Artist Oliver Lèmery and Flame Artist Ria Shroff on how different roles across the studio collaborate on projects for major clients including a recent campaign for Lego, and a Q&A session where students got to chat about career advice and routes into industry. 

A huge thank you to Harry, Oliver, Ria and everyone at Time @timebasedarts for giving us a look into their day-to-day! You can read more about the trip over on our blog 👉 #LinkInBio by @escapestudios

Freshers’ week wrap-up! 🚀 what a way to kick off life at Escape Studios…

Private screening of Project Hail Mary and an exclusive talk with Framestore Animation Supervisor Dan Blacker. And be honest… who else teared up at Rocky? 🥹

Students also got stuck into our Societies Fair, finding their people and discovering plenty of ways to get involved beyond the classroom. Creative Writing, Dance, Football, Film, Skate, Tabletop Society and plenty more on offer, there’s something for every kind of creative.

We can't forget the Arcade Night! Students from all levels came together to meet classmates. With arcade cabinets, retro consoles and pinball machines free to play all night, plus food and drinks on hand, it was the perfect way to settle into the Escape community.

Now let’s see what the rest of the year brings…

Still considering your next step? Clearing is open, so there’s still time to join our creative community this September. by @escapestudios
