Aliens abound as Escape from Planet Earth hits theatres. More than 50 VFS grads worked on the film, which was animated here in Vancouver by Rainmaker Entertainment. VFS has a long history with Rainmaker – over the years many of our grads have worked for the world-renowned animation studio.

With alumni from 3D Animation & Visual Effects, Classical Animation, Digital Character Animation, Acting for Film & Television, Digital Design, and Film Production lending their talents to the project, Escape from Planet Earth is a real VFS labour of love.

From Assistant Editor to Senior Animator, Producer to Lighting TD – even voice over work – our grads were involved in almost every aspect of the film.

Featuring the voices of some big name stars, including Ricky Gervais, Jessica Alba, Brendan Fraser, Sofia Vergara, and Sarah Jessica Parker, the film tells the story of an astronaut from another planet who accidentally finds himself on Earth.
