Animation Taster Day on Thursday 5th May!

Bring this bird to life at Escape Studios on Thursday

We still have a few seats left for our animation Taster Day on Thursday May 5th.  Come and learn the nuts and bolts of creature animation at Escape Studios and start your career as a 3D animator.

We're running this animation taster day to give prospective students an idea of what it's like to study animation at Escape Studios.

What's this all about?
This one-day taster course gives you an introduction to the art of 3D Animation, and giving a sense of what it’s like to work as a professional animator. We'll take you through the animation process from start to finish, ending up with a finished movie file.

You will work with Autodesk Maya and the Adobe Creative Suite, and you’ll get a hands-on introduction to 3D Animation techniques, all for just £25. By the end of the day you'll have your own piece of animation uploaded to your YouTube channel.

What kind of animation does Escape Studios teach?
We teach 3D character and creature animation, with a strong focus on getting our students into paid employment in the rapidly expanding animation and visual effects industry. To see more about what our students are capable of, watch the one minute video below.
