Giving back to the community: Gnomon School’s events create opportunities for artists everywhere to grow their skillsets – for free!
When we hear the word ‘Gnomon’, we will most likely immediately think: ‘Education’. Whether this association comes to us from the internationally famed, award-winning school in Hollywood, or from our trust of the online training platform from Gnomon School’s sister company, The Gnomon Workshop, the common factor is industry-leading instruction.
Serving Hollywood and beyond Hailed as “the MIT of visual effects” by Fast Company magazine, Gnomon School of Visual Effects offers an unrivalled experience for students looking to work in films and games, and boasts a 2016 employment rate of 100% and 93% for its vocational programmes. Add to this a new BFA degree in Digital Production that launched this year, and it’s clear to see that Gnomon School is stepping up its game and taking impressive strides to educate the next generation of digital artists with even greater opportunities than ever before.
While studying in Hollywood may not be feasible for everyone, one of the things that makes Gnomon School different is its efforts to build and maintain a global community through an exceptional programme of Gnomon events that are available to everyone – for free! For those local to the school’s campus, they can meet superstars from studios like Walt Disney Animation, Riot Games, Industrial Light and Magic, as well as art legends like Star Wars’ Iain McCaig, Stranger Things’ Aaron Sims, and ILM’s Paul Giacoppo. What’s more: almost all Gnomon events are streamed live through Gnomon’s Livestream channel, and archived for future enjoyment. Again: this is free. Head to livestream.com/gnomon to check out the full collection of past events and see what’s coming up next.

Callipeg
Animation tools have come a long way over the last few decades, and even further in the past couple of years. Long gone is the need to sit at a desk with backlighting enabling you to see previous frames. Now you can animate at home, on a train or anywhere else you might find yourself using the same techniques on an iPad. Callipeg, while cutting edge, harks back to these classic animation methods.
