Moon Rockz 

Semi-finalist Sweden Film Awards

"Moon Rockz" is a short animated film made at Escape Studios which tells the story of a moon landing - from the point of view of the moon.  

Collaboration

Moon Rockz was a collaboration between students on our master's degree in Storyboarding & Previsualisation, MA students studying animation, and also undergraduate students studying the Art of Computer Animation.  

Molly Babington

Moon Rockz was based on an original idea by Molly Babington, who also did the storyboard animatic.  The animatic was pitched to the second year animation students as one of a number of projects at Escape Studios which could be taken forward into production.
