Drew Collins

Learning & Development Manager

Drew Collins works as the Learning & Development Manager at Animal Logic – Vancouver and has previously had Supervisor roles in the VFX, Advertising and Animation industry at studios such as Double Negative - London. He graduated University with both a Bachelor and Master degree from Teesside University and later in his career went back to teach there for a number of years, helping to design more technical degree courses for our industry.

Working mostly as a generalist on films such as Lego Movie 2, Inception, 2012 and Fast and Furious, Drew has enjoyed every minute of this industry, which is a far cry from his days in the Royal Navy working on Helicopters.

Drew has presented at many international festivals and guest lectured at many of the top schools in the world and is really looking forward to looking at all of your work for the Rookies..!
