Henry Badgett in London on Wednesday 5 April

Meet the man behind Games of Thrones

One of the many advantages of studying at Bucks is the chance to pop into London for talks and events in the animation and VFX business.

This week, Escape Studios is hosting another of their free "Evening With..." events, this time on Wednesday 5 April  at their Shepherd's Bush studio, with Henry Badgett.  Henry is a VFX Supervisor at BlueBolt, and one of the original supervisors on Games of Thrones.

Henry will be showing students his work and talking about his experience in the VFX industry.

This is a superb event for everyone who would like to find out more about 3D and VFX.  Escape Studios even throw in free pizza and beer - how can you argue with that?

What's this about?
It's an "Evening With" event...with Henry Badgett - VFX Supervisor at BlueBolt.  Henry joined Blue Bolt at its conception 7 years ago, as a 2D Supervisor on Season One of Game of Thrones, and is now one of their main VFX Supervisors.

To date he has supervised various projects such as Great Expectations (BBC), Peaky Blinders (BBC/Tiger Aspect), War and Peace (BBC/The Weinstein Company) and Taboo (Scott Free/Hardy Son and Baker), both on set and leading a team of artists in-house.

Henry is currently supervising the shoot for BlueBolt of Robin Hood: Origins for Lionsgate and Holmes & Watson for Columbia Pictures, both due out in the UK & US in 2018.

What's happening on the night?
Henry will present BlueBolt's work on the recent BBC show Taboo. Going in depth beyond showreel breakdowns he will discuss the full process of creating the 2.5D set extensions, and give an insight into the differences between TV and film work for VFX artists.
