BYOA Tonight!

Lukin pub, Fitzrovia

One of the great advantages of studying animation and VFX at Bucks is our close proximity to London and the expanding industry in our capital city.

One event we highly recommend our students attend is - "Bring Your Own Animation". The monthly event takes place tonight, Monday June 19th.

What is this event all about?
 BYOA is an animation event that takes place every month at a pub in London. This month the event is taking place at The Lukin pub in Fitzrovia.

If you are a student who is working on a shot or an updated reel (aren't we all?), bring your work on a USB or hard drive and get feedback from professional animators. You'll also hear the local gossip and find out the word on the street. Who is hiring, and what skills are in demand?

Where and when is it happening?

The Lukin Pub at  4 Conway Mews, Fitzrovia, London W1T 6BB, upstairs. The event takes place tonight from 6.30pm until closing time.

Why go?

Because there is nothing like getting feedback on your work from professional animators to help you get your reel to the next level. Industry professionals know what needs to go on an animation reel in order to get hired.

At Bucks we focus relentlessly on making sure our student animators finish the course with a demo reel that is good enough to get them hired.  The animation industry in the UK is growing rapidly, and many opportunities exist for those in a position to seize them.

How much does BYOA cost?

Nothing. The event is free!
