Why study Film FX?

It’s pretty basic. Being able to create stunning visual effects for the film industry is just really cool. Over the last few decades, improvements in Film FX have taken us from crude and almost comical CGI, to scenes more spectacular and real than anything in actual reality.

Between home viewing and the box office, the global film industry is worth nearly £150 billion a year, and creates an endless demand for creative and technical talent. And the need for talented FX artists is only going up as the scale and ambition of the biggest blockbusters continues to grow.
