Shelley Page Industry Marking 31 March

Shelley Page

Animation industry veteran Shelley Page will return to Escape Studios tomorrow to give our second year animation students industry feedback on their short film projects, and also carry out industry marking. 

Shelley has been working in feature animation since 1986, with credits including "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?", "Shrek 1-4", "Shark Tale", "Madagascar", "Kung Fu Panda", and "How to Train Your Dragon". 

Shelley is currently Key Talent and Artist Liaison at Locksmith Animation in London.   As always, engagement with industry is very much at the heart of what we do at Escape Studios. 

Studio Project Module PR5001

Key Talent & Artist Liaison at Locksmith

Shelley will be looking at our second year animation projects, part of the Studio Project Module PR5001, a film-making module in which our students create short animated films, working in small groups to a variety of creative briefs.  

Regular industry feedback is a key part of how our students learn at Escape Studios. 

Industry Marking

In our group project modules, Industry marking forms an important part of the assessment process. The students' final mark includes the results of industry critique.  On our 2nd year group projects, the industry mark is worth 25% of the total project mark (25% is the tutor mark, 25% is a self-mark, and 25% is a peer mark - from students in the other teams).  To see how Industry Marking of our Studio Projects is done, read this blog post.
