After the success of the VFX Creature’s Drink, we are really proud to team up with Gaël Kerchenbaum to bring you an exclusive new event!

Creature Legends is an event meant to bring character and creature artists closer together and share experiences.

Gaël has been doing an amazing job of bringing people together to speak about one of our favorite topics, creatures and characters, and how we create them, among many others industries such as VFX, Games, and Collectibles.

Creature Legends will be a great way for you to meet our community and many amazing talents from across the industry.

The Rookies - Creature Legends event has two parts:

- Part one: Creature Stories

The Event will start off with one or several talks and Masterclasses given by artists or companies. During which they will share their knowledge and experiences. In order to make their presentations more accessible, they will be live-streamed on our Twitch channel.

It is very important for us to promote accessibility between newcomers and already established artists.

- Part two: Creature Drinks

This is the heart of the event. Attendees will be able to share tips and techniques with others over a drink and expand their network. We are all here to speak about a common passion, Creatures and Characters.

Depending on the location and availability, we might be unable to organize both parts consecutively, so keep an eye on our upcoming programs!

Who will be able to join?

Our event is based on sharing, which means you’d be more than welcome to join us. Whether you are a complete beginner, a student or already a professional working in the industry.

It is very important for us to promote accessibility between newcomers and already established artists. So this will be a great occasion for everyone to connect, no matter their level of experience.

During the old VFX Creature Drink we had the chance to meet many amazing artists, VFX and CG Supervisors, Producers, Department heads, Recruiters and of course Students. We look forward to meeting you too!

When is it?

We plan to host the event multiple times throughout 2019. We will let you know the upcoming dates soon so you can book your seat. Join our Facebook group for further updates and announcements!

How do I join? How much does it cost?  

Attending the event is completely free! The old VFX Creature Drink was pretty popular because it took place in a pub, so there were no entry fees. However, the number of seats for the first part -Creature Stories- will be limited; so make sure to reserve yours once registrations have opened.

We are still in the early days of The Rookies - Creature Legends. Depending on our growth we may have to demand entry fees in the future. If so, we plan on making sure it will remain affordable for both professionals and students alike. In any case, we will let you know of our plans when the time comes.

How many seats are available?

This is dependent on the location it will be taking place in and on who is hosting us. We will let you know as soon as possible on how to book your seat to attend the Creature Stories.

What language will the The Creature Stories be in?

We are planning to make the event take place between the UK and France so the spoken language of our talks will depend on the area and speaker. So even if it took place in France the talk could be held in English.

Will there be food and drinks?

Yes! During the second stage - the Creature Drink - you will be able to grab something to drink and eat. Depending on our location we may have to relocate the Creature Drink to a nearby pub. In the spirit of keeping the event free of charge, you'll be responsible for the cost of your own food and drinks.

What if I can’t make it?

Wherever you are in the world, you’ll be able to attend the first part of our event, the Creature Stories because we’ll be streaming them live on Twitch!

We’re excited to embark on this journey together with all of you and are looking forward to seeing everyone at The Rookies' Creature Legends!
