After identifying critical skills gap in its report, Skills for Immersive Content Creation (Bennett, Murphy Jan 2020), and an urgent need for immersive talent to drive production innovation in media, StoryFutures Academy devised a Bootcamp and Placement programme to help plug these gaps and give the industry much needed momentum and a way of overcoming a major barrier to growth.
Bootcamp & Placement
Following her participation in the “Toolbox for creatives” Bootcamp, Grace was offered paid work by the session host, NEXUS studios on an interactive web-based art experience (4 weeks extended to 6 weeks). Following this Grace landed a fantastic placement with Surround Vision; her work on Climate Changers directly impacted the project’s story, based on the audience feedback she had gathered. During the placement, she also took part in a 360 shoot in central London and experienced the core workflows in the dynamic environment of working in immersive. Impressed by Grace’s work, Surround Vision extended Grace’s position for the duration of the project. Grace then went onto secure a £10K kickstart fund from StoryFutures for the immersive project ‘Nudge’ where she was the Digital Producer.
