Escape Studios Students at AUA Las Vegas

Escapees Alfie Williams, Elvinas Mikulin and Xavier Barker all contributed to the animation in the video above, filmed at the recent AUA Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada.  Alfie, Elvinas and Xavier completed the job for Teleflex, a US-based medical technology company.  Alfie animated Teleflex's monster, part of the immersive experience at the conference. Alfie created a series of short animations of the monster walking, blinking, and peeking, all rendered with a transparent background for seamless placement on conference screens.  Elvinas did the modeling and Xavier managed the pipeline. 

Render Pipeline

Alfie Williams managed the pipeline from Maya (animation) to Blender (fur, render) to final output, working to a defined client brief.  

The "Prostate Monster" is an animated character created by Teleflex to help raise awareness of an important medical issue that claims millions of lives.
