Escape Velocity - talking to storyboard artist

I went back to China in December and had a chance to talk to a storyboard artist, who I knew before. She graduated last year and introduced me to the animation studio based in Beijing where she's working in to me. Escape Velocity studio is a animation studio that only do the pre-production part of the animation, and outsourcing the remaining part to studios all around the world. She also introduced me about the environment within most animation studio in China, as I am considering staying in the future. Most studios are in a pretty small scale and usually work very closely, which is similar to Golden Wolf that I have visited.

It was a pity that I was not able to go visit the studio as they are currently working on a secret project that they don't want to reveal to the public yet, but it was still a great connection with practitioners.


An animated series they released recently, Wool Wool Town, where she worked for as a storyboard artist as well.

Golden Wolf - Studio visit



A studio visit to Golden Wolf in London. We met Henry Purrington and had a inspiring short session with him introducing the studio to us, and animation studios' environment within the nation. It was informative as the visit actually gave me the kind of view on career within the animation industry, a very closely connected industry. What Golden Wolf make is mostly short films and small project, similar to the studios that I have looked up around the world that I am interested in contacting. After having an overview on their work, what I want to achieve from this point is to improve my work to industrial quality.
