Sebastien Foucan Visits Escape Studios

Sebastien Foucan in Casino Royale 
We're delighted to welcome back Parkour founder Sebastien Foucan to Escape Studios.

Sebastien Foucan was talking to our third year animation students this week about what makes a great action scene. How does an animator go about choosing the right action for the right circumstance?

Sebastien Foucan is the founder of the Foucan Academy and also one of the founders of the Parkour Movement, the athletic training discipline in which practitioners move in the most fluid way possible.

Sebastien helped to popularise Parkour by bringing it to a global audience - in part by starring in a famous parkour scene in the 2006 remake of the James Bond classic Casino Royale

Parkour in Animation
Sebastien understands what makes a great action scene, and will help our students choose the right action for the right circumstance. 

Sebastian will discuss which movements work and which don’t work - if you want to keep pulses racing throughout a scene.  He will also talk about how best to frame and action shot in the camera to get the best impact. 
Casino Royale

Sebastien will talk us through some of the decisions he made when shooting Parkour scenes for Casino Royale - as well as other film work.
