Why VFX Graduates Need The Rookies

We’re encouraging all our students at Escape Studios to create their own page at The Rookies, now one of the leading platforms for connecting students to the creative industries.

Creating an individual page at The Rookies helps our students to showcase their work to the wider VFX community, with a view to maximising their future prospects and employability.

Being visible to industry, easy to find, and easy to hire, is one of the core professional skills learned by our VFX students at Escape Studios.
