Meet
"Hat Shop", a short film written and directed by
Stevie Stedman, one of our MA students studying
Storyboarding and Previsualisation at Escape Studios.
"Hat Shop" is a short story set in a futuristic robotic world.
Like "
Moon Rockz" "
Street Ratz" and "
Animal Lover", the film was a collaboration between students on our M
aster's Degree in Storyboarding & Previsualisation and undergraduate students studying the
Art of Computer Animation - something we have tried this year for the first time.
Collaborations between departments are not (of course) unusual in industry. Getting our storyboarding students to work together with undergraduate animators is one of the many ways in which we prepare our students for the realities of working in industry.
"Hat Shop" was completed entirely under Lockdown. It is currently being entered into film festivals, and we wish the team every success.
