PR4001 – Creative Foundations Project

Storyboard for The Alpha Lighthouse at Whale's End

Our undergraduate students' first group project takes place in the First Year of Studies at Escape Studios. PR4001 – Creative Foundations Project - is a two week group project worth 30 Credits.  In PR4001, students take the skills they have learned in CR4002 - Creative Foundations - Craft, and complete a team project.  

Their task is to create a filmed storyboard, also known as an animatic, for an animated TV or web series.  

Giles & Rupert's Prehistoric Predicament

Giles and Rupert's Prehistoric Predicament is a teaser/trailer for an original animated TV series created at Escape Studios by Toby Haslam, Denise Esposito, Louis Chevis, Cameron Haley, Joseph Dunn and Oriyarna Olaku. The project was created as part of CR4002 and PR4001, two first year modules in which students first create an original idea for a TV series, and then turn it into an animatic - a filmed version of the storyboard. In this case, Toby, Denise and their team have included the previs edit shown above, setting the bar even higher for what can be achieved in the first year at Escape.
