Academy for VFX in Ireland
VFX Ireland is a trade association that represents Ireland’s VFX studios; EGG VFX, Element VFX, Outer Limits, Piranha Bar, SSVFX and Windmill Lane. Each of our member studios have an established track record for delivering award-winning VFX work, with credits and awards in a wide range of genres, in episodic drama series and feature films.

Screen Ireland is expanding
its National Talent Academy Network to include a National Talent Academy for
VFX. This initiative aims to attract more Irish talent to the rapidly growing
visual effects (VFX) sector. Notably, Ireland’s VFX studios have contributed to
major productions such as Marvel Studios’ WandaVision and Spider-Man:
No Way Home, Netflix’s The Irishman, and HBO’s Game of Thrones.
The new academy will
address skills needs within the VFX industry and create opportunities for new
entrants from diverse backgrounds. The Cultural & Creative Industries
Skillnet (CCIS) has been appointed to lead the establishment of this academy,
collaborating with regional partners, community groups, industry bodies, and
other entities. This expansion complements the existing National Talent Academy
network, which includes academies for film and TV as well as animation.
This move reflects
Ireland’s commitment to nurturing talent and fostering growth in the VFX and
post-production sector. As the industry continues to evolve, initiatives like
this will play a crucial role in developing skilled professionals and ensuring
Ireland remains a hub for creative excellence.
