Escape Launches Online Training Tool

Escape Studios have announced the launch of their revolutionary CG online learning tool.
The online platform allows students to become computer graphics artists from anywhere in the world and promises to open doors into the film, games and animation industries.
It means students will now have access to world-class training in Autodesk Maya at the click of a mouse.
The online training tool allows entry-level students, or anyone wanting to re-train the ability to learn in their own time and pace, with instant help from Escape's online community.
The option to create a custom course will also appeal to established industry talent who want to develop their skill set, as aspects of the course can be mixed and matched, depending on the required focus.
The system is also available to academia, to be integrated into curriculum or used as a learning resource for students.
Robin Shenfield, CEO of Oscar-winning The Mill is a supporter of the school and employer of many Escape graduates. Shenfield said: "Escape trainees are in a class of their own and well equipped to enter the working environment. We're looking forward to meeting more of them with the launch of Escape's online learning tool."
Escape Studios' CEO, Dominic Davenport, said: "Training the next generation of CG creatives via the internet is a very exciting development for us and for the industry. The superb new training software has been designed to be as useful for those picking it up for the first time as it is for experienced professionals who know what they want."
With Escapees already gaining credits on major films including: 'The Golden Compass', 'The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian', 'Harry Potter: The Order of the Phoenix' and '10,000BC'. This truly is your route into the CG industry.
