Ben Gardener

Escapee Ben Gardener has started work as a storyboard artist at Wild Child Animation.

Ben Gardener took our evening class in storyboarding with Blue Zoo Board Artist and Director Francesca "Chess" Adams - and built up a storyboard portfolio over the duration of the course.

Storyboarding is a growing part of the UK animation industry, as studios develop more in-house content for the expanding creative industries.
