CGI is one of the most rapidly expanding areas of creative endeavour and technical development. Computer-generated sequences in advertising, TV, digital special effects, engineering design, corporate project presentations and virtual environments are some of the more visible applications.
Recent years have seen a truly amazing growth with 5 of the top movie visual effects companies based in London and a plethora of games companies, TV production companies and architectural visualisation companies are now based all over the country. Our students have found jobs with The Mill, Moving Picture Company, Framestore, Codemasters, Lionhead Studios, Visual House and Emperor Vision, working on titles such as Tale of Desperaux, Harry Potter, adverts for Comfort, Lynx, Audi and games 50 Cent, Need for Speed, DJ Hero. Our facilities include a high spec render farm, motion capture suite and 3D scanner as well as industry standard software and quality tuition.
