Introducing Escape Studios
We are CG
Escape Philosophy
In 2002, Dominic Davenport was an artist working as a designer for a leading UK studio when he got a taste for 3D animation and wanted to take what he’d learned to the next level. He knew 3D was the future. And he was right – when Dominic searched for somewhere to obtain these new skills, he found that the kind of professional-standard creative computer graphics training he was looking for just didn’t exist yet, so he decided to create it. He called his new project Escape Studios.
His vision for Escape Studios was to fill the gap between what universities were teaching students and what industry required from graduates. While our vision is now much broader, that simple core aim – to ready computer graphics artists for careers in industry remains. Dominic owns and directs the company to this day and his pioneering creative spirit continues to define everything we do.
Escape is now Europe’s premier CG trainer and flag bearer for the entire industry. Our philosophy is to represent, advocate and facilitate uncompromising excellence in all aspects of computer graphics, creative and commercial. Initiatives such as the Escape Awards – an increasingly high profile celebration of CG talent – represent a new phase in Escape’s development from training institution to authority on computer graphics.

amperSAND is a forum and meeting place for professionals and enthusiasts working in all aspects of digital media, which welcomes businesses, students, independent artists and people with an interest in animation, computer games, digital art, and other production areas in these sectors.
Each amperSAND event focuses on a particular field - from animation to web design, digital music to multimedia with speakers from the industry and the opportunity for discussion. Past presenters have included Aardman Animation, Lionhead Studios, the BBC, Paul Granjon (artist), Rowlands UK, Jonathan Clements (Anime authority), Imaze and many others of equal calibre.
amperSAND is closely associated with the annual international animation and CG conference event SAND (Swansea Animation Days), linked through its aims and function to engender innovative ideas, business collaboration and the convergence of digital technologies.
Both events are initiated and organised by Swansea Metropolitan University's School of Digital Media, who run a raft of programmes in computer animation, creative computer games design, multimedia, interactive media and music technology from HND, BA, BSc to Masters level.
