Get In The Game Tour Diary: East / Midlands

November 18, 2016 Genie Todd 0

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.

Wow, great to see so many faces at @NorwichUniArts! Looking forward to hearing @jess_magnus talk from @dovetailgames! @GradsInGames #gitg16 pic.twitter.com/c2uXa18Y7c

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

Students have been eager to show off their games and portfolios this week, and we offered our feedback and advice alongside Conar Cross and Jamie Wood from Playground Games.

It was great to catch-up with our 2014 & 2015 Rising Star finalist Aaron Smith at Staffordshire University and hear that he’ll be entering the competition again this year!
