  NFTS

  January 2014 - January 2016

  National Film and Television School

  
  In January 2016 I graduated with a distinction from the Visual Effects course at the National Film and Television School. I found that the NFTS gave me a broad range of skills and furthered my knowledge of post production enormously. I got the opportunity to gain experience in onset work, CG and colour, which has given me a good overall education whilst specialising in compositing as well. There were various modules in VFX Supervision, digital set extensions, motion capture and practical effects.
  
  I got the chance to work as vfx lead (onset and post) for two award winning shorts during this time and compositor for the Animation and Fiction students on lots of shorts - a few of which have won or have been nominated for awards at festivals likes Cannes and Annecy.
