Ben Gardener Storyboard Artist at Brown Bag

Ben Gardener

We're delighted to congratulate Escapee Ben Gardener who is currently working at Brown Bag Animation as a Storyboard Revisionist.

Ben took our evening class in storyboarding with industry veteran Francesca "Chess" Adams and built up a storyboard portfolio over the duration of the course.

Storyboarding is a growing part of the UK animation industry, as studios develop more in-house content for the expanding creative industries.

Ben describes the evening class in storyboarding at Escape Studios as being "really instrumental" in helping him to land his first job in the industry.  Ben was initially working from the UK but has since moved to Ireland so as to work in-house at the Dublin Studio.
