World VFX Day celebrates the art, creativity, and innovation of people across the world of visual effects (VFX). Organized by a collective of visual effects studios, organizations, and professionals, the gathering features talks, interviews, tutorials, and giveaways.
Following the popularity of the 2023 World VFX Day Challenge, #EscapeToTheMoon, launched by the event’s official education partner Escape Studios, exclusively for their students, the same challenge is issued for World VFX Day 2024, but this year it’s open to anyone, anywhere, worldwide.
‘A Trip to The Moon’ (Le Voyage Das La Lune) a 1902 Sci-Fi movie by the “Godfather of VFX,” Georges Méliès inspired the challenge.
