Sydney Padua Comes to Escape Studios

Escape Studios is excited to welcome our latest guest lecturer in animation - industry veteran Sydney Padua, whose animation career not only includes a roster of Hollywood hits but also encompasses countless visual effects blockbusters.

If that's not enough for you, she has even published highly successful graphic novels.  So, some very good news then for animation and VFX students at Escape.

Syd will be teaching our students the finer points of animal and creature locomotion, helping to prepare them for a career in industry.

Lovelace and Babbage

To see more about Sydney's work, you can see her website 2DGoggles here.  Her latest graphic novel is The Thrilling Adevntures of Lovelace and Babbage, a modern day interpretation of the work of the famed Victorian computer pioneers.

To see her roster of film work, check out her IMDB page here.  You'll see animation classics like The Iron Giant and modern VFX hits like Clash of The Titans and Jungle Book.

Meanwhile, keep an eye out for our next animation short course at the Escape Studios website - we'll be running a new intensive 12 week class in character and creature animation early next year.

The Escape Studios Animation Blog offers a personal view on the art of animation and visual effects. To apply for our new BA/MArt starting in September 2016, follow this link.
