Jakob Parsons to teach sound design Jan 2019

Jakob Parsons

We're welcoming back sound specialist Jakob Parsons to teach sound design to our 2nd year undergraduate animators early in January 2019.

Sound design is an important but often neglected part of the film-making process. After all, 50% of the experience of enjoying a film is done with our ears, and yet when teaching film-making we tend to focus most of our attention on what we see with our eyes, often neglecting the importance of sound.

What's this all about?
Sound design for industry projects. Our second year animation students will soon be working on their first group Studio Project - working together to design and animate a teaser/trailer for an upcoming game, TV series or feature film. The brief is to make the teaser as close to the real thing as possible, so it looks completely convincing. To see some of the students' work from last year, follow this link.
