Escapees Visit Blue Zoo Animation

Escapees visit Blue Zoo

Escape Studios is delighted to thank our industry partners Blue Zoo for their studio tour; this past week our 3rd year undergraduate animators had a studio visit at Blue Zoo, one of London's leading animation studios.

Blue Zoo welcomed our students, showed us their latest animation reel, and also offered an insight into some of their production processes, as well as a studio tour of their facility.
