Sound Design with Jakob Parsons 9 March

Jakob Parsons teaching at Escape Studios

We're delighted to welcome back sound specialist Jakob Parsons to teach sound design to our 2nd year undergraduate animators. Jakob will join us tomorrow, Tuesday 9 March.

Good sound design is a vital part of the film-making process. 50% of the experience of enjoying a film is audio, and yet when teaching film-making we tend to focus most of our attention on what we see with our eyes, sometimes neglecting the importance of sound.

Sound Design 
Our second year animation students are working on their first group Studio Project - working together to design and animate a teaser/trailer for an upcoming game, TV series or feature film, as part of 2nd year Module PR5001.  Students collaborate together, working on group projects.  The module is the culmination of the second year of study at Escape Studios.

Jakob Parsons
Jakob Parsons has a degree in music production from The Academy of Contemporary Music, and his main specialism is music composition.  He also works in live sound, and co-founded his own production company Lambda AV.
