Jakob Parsons Sound Designer to Escape

Jakob Parsons

Next week on Monday 12th March Escape Studios welcomes sound specialist Jakob Parsons to teach sound design to our 2nd year undergraduate animators. They are currently working on their first group project - a teaser for an upcoming game, TV series or feature film.

Sound design is a vital part of the film-making process, and the only way to really learn it is to try making your own short film project.  Jakob will be coming in to Escape to share his workflow with the students, and to help them come up with inventive and creative solutions to the many problems they will face.

Novice film-makers face a lot of challenges making their first film project. Where do you find good audio FX? What about Foley? Original music? How do you make it? How do you get started?

Jakob has a degree in music production from The Academy of Contemporary Music, and his main specialism is on music composition.  He also works in live sound, and co-founded his own production company, Lambda AV. 

Recent work includes projects across multiple platforms, including running the production teams for Egg London, Fire & Lightbox nightclubs, and working on stages at festivals: Glastonbury, Boomtown and The Palace Arts Festival in Poland.
