    Animation and VFX collective Axis Studios has announced the official launch of its new Hoxton, London location, which will provide greater exposure for Axis Animation, Flaunt Productions and axisVFX across the U.K. capital.

    Acting as a branch of the Axis Studios HQ in Glasgow, the London studio will house 10-15% of Axis Studios’ 200-strong workforce. It is located in a custom-built boutique space in Hoxton Square, neighboring London’s major tech and creative Old Street hub. 

    The London studio will enable Axis Studios clients and creatives to collaborate from the U.K. capital, delivering complex productions of any volume with the backing, experience and depth of the Axis Studios team across its other Bristol and Glasgow locations.

    Upcoming work at the London studio includes Netflix/E4’s Kiss Me First and SyFy’s Happy!

    Paul Schleicher, executive producer at Axis Studios, commented, “The London studio is a natural evolution for Axis Studios, it gives us greater access to new and existing clients and of course some of the very best talent in the world.”

    Recent engagements include the Emmy Award-winning Lost In Oz for Amazon Studios, the Royal Television Society Award-nominated visual effects for the BBC’s Doctor Who, and the Royal Television Society Award-winning Dawn of War III for Sega.

    Before last Thursday's game between the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers, Glaser said doing her "Late Hits" segment was a no-brainer following her success at the Brady roast.

So then I was like, 'Let me just keep learning about football through joking about it.' And that was kind of my goal."

    Glaser admits her knowledge of football is not all the way there yet. Still, it is further ahead than it was a year ago when she started casually watching Chiefs games due to Swift's relationship with Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce.

    And mostly then, it was to see when Swift appeared on screen.

    However, Glaser decided to start learning more about the game, which she compared to trying to learn a new language.

    "I went my whole life putting on blinders because I was just scared to look stupid if I tried to learn. I always thought football fans would be really judgmental and cruel about my lack of knowledge. But they're not," Glaser said. "They're eager for you to understand and... Read More
