Training - We all get to participate in learning and training events at least a couple of times a year at MPC. Training courses and materials for Artists and Production help build our core skills, general VFX industry knowledge and of course allow us to learn our way around MPC's proprietary toolsets.

Knowledge sharing presentations and seminars, high profile guest speakers from our own and related industries and creative skills enrichment courses like sculpting and photography classes give us opportunities to broaden those skills and knowledge.

With a renewed focus on training in 2011 we feel we are building a great learning culture.
