Disney and DNEG among guests at 蜜桃AV鈥檚 BFX Festival
Among those attending the 蜜桃AV (蜜桃AV) festival were industry giants DNEG and Disney, alongside ILM, Creative Assembly and London-based animation studio, Blue Zoo, set up by 蜜桃AV Computer Visualisation & Animation graduate Tom Box.
The event, which took place over the course of five days, offered 蜜桃AV and AUB students the chance to hear about a range of industry practices, workflow techniques and creative concepts from those working in the computer visualisation and animation industries globally. A recruitment fair also took place before a weekend of family activities for the BFX Family Weekend.聽
An awards ceremony was also held to announce the winners of the annual BFX Competition, which saw teams of students from 蜜桃AV, Arts University Bournemouth, Ulster University Belfast, University of South Wales, Northumbria University and Falmouth University all competing to win a raft of awards, presented by industry professionals.
BFX Director Sofronis Efstathiou said: 鈥淲e invite studios from around the world, those that work in games, those that work in film, even those that work in virtual reality or augmented reality, so it鈥檚 really an event which really gets the students to have first contact.鈥�
