Escape Studios story and animation tutor Iliana Franklin will be hearing story pitches from our second year animation students on Monday 4 April.

Our second year students are working on Module PR5001, a Studio Project in which they work in teams to create short films.

On Monday 4th April our students will pitch story ideas for their second project in the module, with final delivery due at the end of May. 

Iliana will be offering feedback and support, helping the groups to decide which projects should move forwards and be selected for production.

On Monday 4th April our students will be pitching ideas to one another and selecting projects. Each group votes on the best project to move forwards, and then gives the project a name.

Tuesday 5 April
On Tuesday 5th April our students will be writing scripts, beginning look development, and deciding who will do what role on the project.  To find out more about Module PR5001 and how it works, read this blog post

Story & Previs Ideas
Among the pitches will be some of our MA students studying the Art of Storyboarding and Previsualisation, who have responded to our "60-90 Second Challenge", to create short storyboard animatics which can be put into production by our teams of animators.  

Successful Collaborations
Past successful collaborations between our story students and undergraduate animators include the award-winning short films Moon Rockz, Hat Shop and Animal Lover
