Luis Marcillo-Coronado Runner at Jellyfish

Luis David Marcillo-Coronado

Many congratulations to Escapee Luis David Marcillo-Coronado who has recently landed a position as a Runner at Jellyfish Pictures in London.

Luis completed a Master's Degree in Animation here at Escape Studios and, after graduating with an MA, continued to polish his demo reel.

At Escape, Luis worked on the award-winning short film "Flame", a group project directed by Cherelle Owusu and produced by Carolina Xavier.

Working as a runner is a well-established entry-level pathway into the animation and vfx industries.

Demo Reel
You can see Luis David Marcillo-Coronado's demo reel below. It includes a number of excellent shots he worked on at Escape Studios, including his work on "Flame". 

"Flame" was a collaborative project, with MA animation students working together to complete the film, working under conditions designed to mirror as closely as possible the real-world experience on a film at a commercial studio.  Working on group projects helps animators take their work to a higher level of sophistication, working to a defined brief, taking notes, and polishing the final product to a professional level of quality.

Working as a Runner

Most of the big Soho VFX houses use both runner positions and internships as stepping-stones on to a full time creative role.  Jellyfish pictures is one of London's leading animation and VFX houses, currently working on a large project for DreamWorks Animation. We congratulate Luis on taking his first steps in the business.
