Miguel, Maciej & Titi-Marion at the "Golden Nugget" |
At just under 6 minutes, Minuet is our most ambitious film to date at Escape Studios, completed by our recent animation graduates.
"The Golden Acorn" is a movie trailer completed by 2nd year undergraduate Escape Studios Animation students, as part of their Studio Project module.
Golden Nugget Film Festival
The Golden Nugget Film Festival took place in Stratford, London last night. We had two films entered into the competition, and both films took home prizes on the night.
Golden Acorn
The Golden Acorn" is a spoof movie trailer completed by 2nd year undergraduate Escape Studios Animation students, as part of their Studio Project module, in which a bunny and cat detective duo team up in NutTown to defeat a squirrel crime boss. Congratulations to Maciej Osuch, Miguel Teixera, Titi-Marian Giusca, Petroc Menuhin, Cuchulan O'Byrne and Sasha Batt on their success.
Minuet
Minuet was a collaboration between our third year animators. With a running time of 5 minutes and 46 seconds, Minuet is our most ambitious short film to date. Directed by Aaron Hopwood and Harry Pearson, and produced by Maddison Gould, the project was animated in Maya, and rendered in Unreal Engine.
The Golden Acorn |
The 2nd year of animation studies at Escape Studios culminates in the Studio Project, a 12 week module worth 45 credits in which students collaborate to work together to a brief, designed as closely as possible to simulate working on a live client project.
The Studio Project Module comes half way through the second year and is the point at which studying at Escape Studios becomes much more creative; students learn to work together in teams, pitching projects to one another, selecting the best idea, and working towards a defined project brief.
Escape Method
The Studio Project runs for 12 weeks, with a week off for Easter, and forms part of what we call the Escape Method, our unique blend of intensive personal tuition combined with group project work that simulates working in a real studio environment.
Two films in the 2nd year
The Studio Project is broken up into two projects, giving our students the chance to practice their film-making skills twice in a short space of time.
