About the Digital Talent programme (London)
London has a growing digital skills shortage. The capital’s booming digital, creative and technology sectors have driven huge demand for digitally-skilled talent that is ready for the workplace.
That’s why the Mayor is funding digital skills training, through a £7 million Digital Talent programme that will inspire and prepare more young Londoners to fill these roles, and improve the pool of talent available to employers.

I am obsessed with this love-letter to visual effects
What happens when a special effect goes out-of-date?
I have to admit something. When I started writing about visual effects, I once ignorantly thought that I was one of the only people in the world really, truly obsessed with the industry.
