Teaching starts on Monday 14th September, and this year is a blend of traditional classroom and digital online delivery.
Classes take place at our Central London Campus at 190 High Holborn. Online classes will be delivered through a variety of online platforms including Blackboard Collaborate. Below is a brief list of suggestions to get you underway.
Core Textbook - The Animator's Survival KitWe recommend that all our animation students buy a copy of The Animator's Survival Kit, by Richard Williams; now the standard textbook for animators and easily the most comprehensive book available for learning animation.
We have two copies in the animation library here at Escape Studios (we also have dozens of other books on animation and digital film-making), but they are often out on loan so it's a good idea to get your own copy.
Get a Laptop
Now that working from home is the new reality, we recommend that all our students have access to a laptop computer; this will enable you to work from home and make it easier to for you to work outside studio hours. Computer specs change all the time but here is a useful guide to buying your own machine. Ideally, you would also have a second monitor, so that you can watch a tutorial on one screen and follow along on the other. We also recommend using a tablet rather than a mouse.
Install Maya
The next thing to do is install your free copy of Autodesk Maya. Maya is the main software we animate with, nowadays it's the industry standard. You can download a free educational license here.Start Watching Our Tutorials
Start to learn the Maya interface. We offer our students a free playlist that introduces students to the basics of the Maya tools, to get you started.
It's a good idea to get familiar with Maya early on.
We also have a Vimeo Tutorial Channel which is exclusively for our students and recent Escapees. The Vimeo Tutorial Channel is password protected - email me for the password and you can access hundreds of videos on animation, games and VFX. Start with animation basics, and keep going.
