The progression of their work and increase in confidence over the 16 weeks of the bootcamp was amazing to see.  Over 16 weeks, they developed advanced technical skills in Unreal Engine, mastering cinematic lighting, real-time VFX, rendering workflows and more, all while working on studio-style briefs and receiving expert feedback. Congratulations to everyone who took part!  ##### Explore our students portfolios   Check out the showreel video above to check out some of their work, and click their name below to browse their portfolios and to get in touch with them.  - [Amy Bennett](https://amyjohnsonvfx.wixsite.com/amy-bennett-digital) - [Ellen Paynter](https://vimeo.com/ellenpaynter) - [Finn Povey](https://vimeo.com/1081653519/cd776df85f) - [Jay Davis](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tbZDxAKSrcOofF6NvYKFCDPV5Alv53Wr/view?usp=sharing) - [Leon Norton](http://www.leonnorton.co.uk) - [Owen Lye](https://www.owenlye.com/) - [Tanja Langgner](https://vimeo.com/927924326) --- ##### What is the Skills Bootcamp in Unreal Engine?   Delivered by industry tutors and supported by TechSPARK and local studios, this 16-week remote and part-time Skills Bootcamp equips learners with the practical skills, confidence, and portfolio projects to help them break into careers in games, animation, VFX, visualisation, and immersive media.
