Creative Connections

We're here to help creative digital producers connect with each other and find business.

TayScreen working with InGAME and Digital Dundee got this underway with delivery of EU project, Create Converge - 
so using a mix of VR/AR, animation, games, VFX and live action for entertainment and beyond for things like service delivery, training and marketing. 

We learned a lot about using creative, digital solutions to show, tell and sell. So give us a try and we'll be happy to help.

We are still networked with the project's nine partners in five countries – Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden and the UK (both England and Scotland). So it's a great way to make connections.
