For anyone who missed the EscapeVerse Live Festival at the end of February, we’ve now uploaded the full schedule of talks, panels and webinars to our YouTube channel. Above is the Teamwork Panel I hosted on 25 February, with Escapees Adam Dewhirst, Ricardo Ferreira, Stefano Ferron and Harry Symonds. They were all great guests and had many entertaining insights into the importance of good teamwork – as well as some horror stories about teamwork gone wrong (such as Adam’s fishy tale at 31:31). You can find the full EscapeVerse 2025 playlist here.

Teamwork Panel at EscapeVerse Live

On Tuesday 25th February at 6pm I hosted a “Teamwork Panel” of Escapees, part of the EscapeVerse Live Festival.

The 2025 EscapeVerse Live Festival (formerly The VFX Festival) was held live online from 24-27 February 2025.

At the Teamwork Panel at 6pm I talked with a number of Escapees – Adam Dewhirst, Ricardo Ferreira, Stefano Ferron and Harry Symonds – about why teamwork matters, why the industry isn’t a solo sport, and how they manage the challenges of group projects in industry.
