Now in its fifth year, the Bournemouth University’s BFX festival takes place from October 8 - 16. It’s an amazing chance to find out about cutting edge visual effects and animation in blockbuster movies and games. It also serves as a platform for the UK’s freshest talent, and as a way to entice potential artists into the amazing world of visual effects.

This year’s partners include Double Negative, Framestore, Moving Picture Company, The Mill, Cinesite, Creative Skillset, and BAFTA. Chaos Group is proud to be part of this illustrious line-up, and we’ve organized some unmissable presentations for the festival.

On October 10 at 4.30 pm Jeremy Smith, Jellyfish Picture’s chief technology officer, will discuss VFX production in the cloud. And, on October 13 at 3.00 pm we’ll host one of our legendary Chaos Group Educator’s Brunches, where educators can find out more about our new V-Ray for Maya training program. And, on October 13 at 5.30 pm, compositor Shahin Toosi will demonstrate his innovative approach to ray-tracing within V-Ray for NUKE.
