    Thanks for all the advice. Been thinking jumping ship from VFX into game development. Some great advice here to think from.

    Shame everything seems to be leaving London/UK. I get the reasoning just sucks when you have family here.

    • Why do you think 'everything is leaving the London/UK'?detritus
    • VFX is getting larger in Vancouver and northern Europe is getting really innative.
      major companies are moving away from soho etc      mugwart
    • rent and people skills.mugwart
    • seems from my perspecive, we (as a people) have been burnt out with work load and now they are moving away to cheaper places. Fucking grim but that might bemugwart
    • Ah, 'away from Soho' - sure. One of my main clients has just set up a studio off Holloway Rd, because inner city rents are ludicrous.detritus
    • I must admit, I've always found the concentration of that sort of business around soho a little peculiar (read: ego-inflating) anyway.detritus
    • jadded from the places I've worked. Been looking at unit9, they look cool. Know any other good places?mugwart
    • yeah its fucking huge egos. ironically i've meet the best as well as the worst people in that area.mugwart
    • Lisbon is where Europes new creative scene and tech valley will be. When you can work anywhere. You choose somewhere sunny, good food, beach.shapesalad

    • I'd like that a lot. Go grab a bit a Meet on Main as well.mugwart
