Escape Studios proudly presents "Offcut", a short film directed by third year animation student Petroc Menuhin, produced by Tosin Ogunleye and Ethen Dent, and completed as part of the third year animation Module PR6001, a Studio Project worth 60 Credits. In this module our animation and VFX students join forces to produce a visual effects (VFX) project, with three months to take the project from initial pitch to final render.
Offcut Title |
Offcut is a musical odyssey set inside a luthier's workshop. The story follows the adventures of a discarded scrap of wood, who comes to life and finds meaning in music.
Working with a team of ten students from VFX and animation departments, this collaborative short was filmed on location at a luthier's workshop in Camden Town. The live action plates were then scanned and tracked, and were completed with digital animation in Maya, composited and rendered in Arnold.

Petroc Menuhin has a classical music background, and brings his own unique voice to this animated short. This is his first film.
