We’ve just finished our final talk of the week at Staffordshire University,  where we’ve had one of our best student turn-outs yet.

It’s been another great week for Get In The Game with a fantastic line-up of speakers, from AMD, Dovetail Games, Playground Games, Rebellion, Autodesk, Framestore, Red Kite Games and Inertia Games.

Students at the University of Hertfordshire were treated to an animation / rigging workshop from James Thompson from Framestore after his talk about his a typical day in the life of an Assitant Technical Director; from bug fixing, to meeting and tool development, to the VFX pipeline!

Now we're going on to a workshop from James from @Framestore where he's teaching animators how to use Python! @GradsInGames #gitg16 pic.twitter.com/OqfSfS5I8u
