Harry Pearson

Many congratulations to animation Escapee Harry Pearson for starting a new position a Shot Creator at The 3rd Floor.

The 3rd Floor is one of London's leading VFX houses, specialising in previsualisation, a rapidly growing part of the VFX landscape.

Prior to joining the team at the 3rd Floor, Harry started work at Factory 42, a tech startup which specialises in virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality, creating "unique multi-sensory experiences for broadcasters, brands, destinations and artists."

Harry studied animation at Escape Studios, broadening his animation skillset to include modelling and rigging, and graduated in the summer of 2019, part of our first cohort of students to win their BA at Escape Studios. 

Home Sweet Home

At Escape Studios, Harry was part of the award-winning team that made the short film Home Sweet Home, which won the Best Student Film at the British Animation Film Festival.

Harry also did the animation for Vivi Ossa, a one-minute short film which is currently being entered into film festivals.

Harry also co-directed the 2nd year Studio Project Working with Dinosaurs, mentored by Framestore animation, and co-directed the final year project Minuet, one of our most ambitious projects to date, which has won two festival awards.
