We understand that last week was especially tough for UK VFX professionals. But there is a way forward. If you’re considering your next move or looking to build something new, we’re here to help. 

Sherpa has the answer.  Build a complete VFX studio in the cloud in an hour. 

At Escape Technology, we’ve long supported creative studios, helping them scale, adapt, and thrive. That’s why we created Sherpa—our cloud-based solution designed to give you the flexibility and the power of a high-end studio without the heavy upfront investment.  

“We can scale dynamically thanks to Sherpa,” says Sean, noting how simple it is to scale up to meet the needs of a project, adding artists using his smartphone.

For those looking to start fresh, collaborate remotely, or simply future-proof their pipeline, Sherpa provides an accessible and cost-effective way to build a world-class VFX studio. If you’re an established team or a collective of talented artists exploring new opportunities, Sherpa enables seamless collaboration and scalability without the burden of traditional infrastructure.

Whether it be workstation, render or storage requirements, enable your creatives at the click of a button.  No matter your cloud vendor of choice, Sherpa is fully agnostic, launching in AWS, GCP & Azure, allowing our users to work efficiently and reap the benefits of each provider.

"When we turned to Sherpa for support, their swift and efficient setup, enabled us to be operational within a day, successfully rendering 117 jobs to meet the deadline. Their solution allowed us to stay on track in a way that wouldn’t have been possible otherwise."

Sherpa was incredibly useful thanks to its rapid scalability - allowing us to increase machine sizes or add nodes within minutes to meet deadlines. The user interface makes it easy to track usage and generate reports for producers. It's set up in a way that means it can be used by production, not just technical staff.
