N* Must (see)

The 110-seat Nexus studio lies in the middle of London’s creative and tech hub, giving it access to an amazing community of leading artists and innovative coders

Proficient in anything (it this possible?) that animates a script and a myriad of programming skills that have a different visual or interactive requirement.

_______

Featured in ’10 for their SyFy idents – I decided to follow-up with my picks of must see. Prolific only begins to describe their output.
