Happy Christmas from Escape Studios
Happy Christmas from the animation dept at Escape Studios. Above is a short piece of animation created by Morgan Mda, a second year undergraduate animation student at Escape Studios. Morgan created this animation for AN5002, one of the second year animation modules in which our student animators tackle the art and craft of animal and creature animation. Many thanks to Morgan for the animation, and a very Merry Christmas to all our students, friends and Escapees.

On Monday 4th November our 2nd year undergraduate animators started a new module: AN5002: Advanced Computer Animation.
In this module, worth 30 credits, students get to grips with animating animals and creatures.
The module started on Monday 4th November and lasts six weeks. It finishes on Friday December 20th, just before Christmas.
In AN5002 students develop their skills in animal and creature animation, including quadruped locomotion and performance.

Animal and creature work
Much of the animation industry in London focuses on realistic animal and creature work, achieving photo-real levels of quality. For example, the Disney re-make of The Lion King was made at MPC in London, and it is essential that our students learn the skills that make up a successful animal and creature animator.
Student work.
