Animation Feedback with Producer Steve Burch

Animation Producer Steve Burch

Veteran animation producer Steve Burch will be joining us on Monday 27th April to give feedback via Google Hangouts and Syncsketch to our second year animation students, who are currently in the pre-production stage of three short films due for completion at the end of May as part of Module PR5001.

Steve, who has worked on animation classics such as The Iron Giant, Space Jam, and Osmosis Jones, is an experienced producer with a long list of industry credits.

Producing animation is an increasingly important part of what we teach at Escape Studios, as our students collaborate on short film projects, entering festivals and winning awards.
