Lecturer Phil explains the fast-moving the field:
“It literally changes from month to month and this means that students are sometimes the ones who recognise a new trend or technique that has just ‘dropped’ for us all to look into together.
We have a class of 30, with many more interested in studying with us, who collaborate in sharing the latest ideas whilst learning the professional disciplines of the industry.
The WorldSkills competition was all about the design and technical processes involved in creating a character outfit suitable for a modern video game. This covered concept art, 3D modelling, texture art, rigging and finally animating to a professional standard.”
Phil, aged 31 from Shefford, is a designer in his own right – having created a number of pilots and is pictured here with one of his early pieces of work.
To add to the expertise on offer at the college, industry guests are invited in to offer advice to students on the course. Andy Kind VFX Supervisor from Framestore of London, who are world leaders in the industry, gave a presentation that included the work on Fantastic Beasts and the Crimes of Grindelwald.
