Lydia Layton

Many congratulations to Escapee Lydia Layton, who is currently working as VFX Manager at Pixomondo in Toronto, Canada. 

Lydia took our 12 week class in 3D animation at Escape Studios. Since graduation, Lydia has worked on a number of Hollywood films including No Time to Die, Black Panther and The Fall Guy.  

In recent years, many of our Escapees have gone on to fill producing roles in the creative industries, in part because of Escape Studios' focus on managing group project work on our award-winning films. 

Maria Casanueva Animator at MPC Montreal

Maria Casanueva

Many congratulations to Escapee Maria Casanueva, who is working as an animator at MPC in Montreal.

Maria took our 12 week animation short course at Escape Studios and from there joined the Technicolour MPC Academy, on the strength of her strong demo reel and a follow-up interview, and soon found work as an animation artist at MPC in Canada.

There was a small delay while visas were sorted out, but now she is well on her way to a successful career at one of the world's leading animation & VFX houses.
