Vimeo Tutorials: Camera, Previs & 3D Layout

The 180 Degree Rule

Our Vimeo Tutorial Channel is our hub for animation and VFX video tutorials, making it easy for our students to find tutorials to support their classroom studies.  

We also have a series of tutorials on Cinematography, Camera, Previsualisation & 3D Layout.  

All of the above are essentially ways of describing the same problem - how to tell a story visually, with a series of still or moving images. 

What is an Establishing Shot? What is "Crossing The Line"? Watch our playlist below to find out. 

Dave Edwardz Visits Escape Studios 19 May

Dave Edwardz

A very warm welcome to Dave Edwardz from Locksmith Animation who will visit Escape Studios next week on Thursday May 19th along with his colleague Shelley Page.  Dave is Head of Layout at Locksmith, and will talk about opportunities for graduates to explore entry level positions in 3D Layout at Locksmith.

3D Layout is one of the key roles on an animated film, the equivalent of cinematography on a live-action set.  3D Layout artists make creative choices about camera and layout, contributing significantly to the look and feel of a project.
