Good sound design is a vital part of the film-making process. 50% of the experience of enjoying a film is audio, and yet when teaching film-making we tend to focus most of our attention on what we see with our eyes, sometimes neglecting the importance of sound.
Animators might not always realise it - but we definitely need good sound design.
Sound Design
Our second year animation students are working on their first Studio Project - working together to design and animate a teaser/trailer for an upcoming game, TV series or feature film, as part of 2nd year Module PR5001, in which students collaborate together, working in teams. The module is the culmination of the second year of study at Escape Studios.
Jakob's work includes projects across multiple platforms, including running the production teams for Egg London, Fire & Lightbox nightclubs, and working on stages at festivals: Glastonbury, Boomtown and The Palace Arts Festival in Poland. His regular clients include Ronnie Scott's jazz club in Soho.
