Introducing "Pet Shop"

We're proud to introduce "Pet Shop", the latest short film from Escape Studios created by our second year undergraduate animation students.

Directed by Shauna Ludgate and Produced by Emmanouil "Manos" Zervoudakis,  "Pet Shop" was completed as part of Studio Module PR5001, a collaborative module in which undergraduate students work together on short film projects, simulating as closely as possible the workings of a real animation studio.

"Pet Shop" is about a ragtag gang of pets living in a pet shop - who long to find a home. 

The short took six weeks to complete; it was animated in Maya, edited in Adobe Premiere and rendered in Redshift.  

"Pet Shop" is a teaser/trailer for a TV/web series, currently in development.
