| "Hat Shop": "Best Super Short" |
"Hat Shop" is a short film set in a futuristic robot world, written and directed by Stevie Stedman, produced by Jess Hiles, animation directed by Ross Green.
This the fourth award for Hat Shop, which recently won "Best Animation" and "Best Sci-Fi" at the Flicks Film Festival, and "Most Awesome Animation" at the International Student Animafantasia Film Festival.
Group Project Work
Like "Moon Rockz" "Street Ratz" and "Animal Lover", the film was a collaboration between students on our Master's Degree in Storyboarding & Previsualisation and undergraduate students studying the Art of Computer Animation .The final film was completed as part of Studio Module PR5001, a collaborative module in which students work together on short film projects, simulating as closely as possible the workings of a real animation studio.
Hat Shop Pitch
Hat Shop was written and storyboarded by Stevie Stedman, and the boards were pitched to the animators in the form of a storyboard animatic. The storyboard was a necessary first step to selling the project internally - did the animators want to work on it?
Taking on a film project is a big commitment of time and effort. As in any studio, a storyboard animatic is the best way to test the strength of the material and see how it plays.
