08 Apr 2014 : Deirdre Molumby
Screen Training Ireland part of Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board is delighted to partner with the VFX Association of Ireland (VFXAI) on its European training programme, ‘VFX: Script to Screen’. With the formation of VFXAI, Egg Post Production and Piranha Bar will join Windmill Lane and Screen Scene in lending their talent, support and expertise to the programme. VFXAI was established to promote Ireland nationally and internationally as a VFX centre of excellence.

VFX: Script to Screen is an innovative programme targeted at developing skills and talent in the Irish and European visual effects sector. By introducing people in the industry to global leaders in the field, the aim is to inspire the creative communities to push the boundaries of VFX and develop new and innovative stories for audiences globally. Screen Scene and Windmill Lane VFX partnered with Screen Training Ireland for the programme’s inaugural year in 2013.

VFXAI is committed to training and we think engaging with Screen Training Ireland on VFX: Script to Screen and other initiatives is the best way we can impact successfully on training. Hopefully this will be the first of many collaborations with Screen Training Ireland.”
