Locksmith's Shelley Page Visits Escape Studios

Shelley Page
Locksmith Animation Key Talent and Artist Liaison Shelley Page will be at Escape Studios tomorrow to give our second year animation students industry feedback on their short film projects.

Shelley has been working in feature animation since 1986, with credits including "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?", "Shrek 1-4", "Shark Tale", "Madagascar", "Kung Fu Panda", and "How to Train Your Dragon".

As always, engagement with industry is very much at the heart of what we do at Escape Studios

Studio Project Module PR5001
Shelley will be looking at our second year animation projects, part of the Studio Project Module PR5001, a film-making module in which our students create short animated films, working in small groups to a variety of creative briefs.  

Regular industry feedback is a key part of how our students learn at Escape Studios
