WOLVERHAMPTON SCREEN SCHOOL CUTS THE RIBBON
The brand new Wolverhampton Screen School opened its doors in March and Bigtooth Studios were honoured to be among the first; alongside other industry professionals to experience the state-of-the-art facilities first hand. Vice chancellor Ian Campbell cut the ribbon in a ceremonious display to mark the opening of the new £5 million facility.
The Screen School will offer courses in Animation, Game Design, Film & TV Production, and Media Journalism. They are also exploring and developing further opportunities in specialist and cross disciplinary areas such as Visual FX and Cyber Psychology.
Create Central board member Robin Grey was one of the event speakers, touching on the importance of industry engagement with higher education providers.

MOTION CAPTURE WORKSHOP
Bigtooth Studios were invited to host an introductory workshop in collaboration with FRAMESCAPE for kids and young adults. The session; Intro to Motion Capture was held at the Carse & Waterman HQ in Stoke. During the session Jamie and Adame demonstrated how we use our Rokoko Smartsuits to make quick and easy 3D animation. The attendees got to preview our brand new (yet to be released) Blender Add-on 'FaceHugger', which allows us to apply real-time facial capture directly onto a working rig inside the Blender 3D software.
