Luis Marcillo-Coronado Animator at Jellyfish

Luis David Marcillo-Coronado
Many congratulations to Escapee Luis David Marcillo-Coronado who has recently started work as a 2D animator at Jellyfish Pictures in London.

Luis completed a Master's Degree in Animation here at Escape Studios and, after graduating with an MA, continued to polish his demo reel.

At Escape Studios, Luis contributed to the award-winning short film "Flame", a group project directed by Cherelle Owusu and produced by Carolina Xavier, which has won multiple festival awards.

Luis's career at Jellyfish began as a runner, a well-established entry-level pathway into the animation and vfx industries, after which he got a well-deserved promotion to animator.

Demo Reel
You can see Luis David Marcillo-Coronado's demo reel below. It includes a number of excellent shots he worked on at Escape Studios, including his work on "Flame"

"Flame" was a collaborative project, with MA animation students working together to complete the film, working under conditions designed to mirror as closely as possible the real-world experience on a film at a commercial studio.  

Group Projects
Working on group projects helps animators take their work to a higher level of sophistication, working to a defined brief, taking notes, and polishing the final product to a professional level of quality.
