The AI Shift for VFX in High-End TV
This is a one-day live online training session designed for freelance VFX professionals in the UK working in, or aiming for, the high-end TV sector. Delivered by ScreenSkills in partnership with Soho Editors, it blends creative and technical content with governance, rights and ethics.

It also addresses legal, IP and delivery issues in the VFX pipeline, giving participants a forward-looking perspective on opportunities and responsibilities.
