Back in 2018, I developed an interest in animation when I chose Media as one of my A-level subjects. Media was always a subject that interested me as I loved watching behind the scenes of how films were made. When my lessons started I was thrilled to know that we would be making films and I couldn't wait to start exploring different departments and what they all contribute to. 

​

We were first introduced to pre-production materials where we learned a lot about all the documents needed for the first steps of production including shot-lists, call sheets and schedules. Our pre-production materials folder kept growing, and I soon turned around to my teacher and said that I would love to do this in the future. She suggested that I look into production courses, and that's when I discovered Escape Studios. I read about their courses and became interested in their animation course and that's when it all started.

​

Despite not being an artistic kid and enjoying making spreadsheets and word documents, I submitted my application to Escape Studios. I didn't have high hopes, but I was invited to a taster day shortly after where my portfolio was reviewed. The tutors were very friendly and gave me a bunch of advice. I left Escape that day feeling so happy. When I received the email that I had been accepted, I was ecstatic and jumped around like a goat, I couldn't believe my eyes. Graduating from Escape Studios in November 2023 was the best day of my life. I was proud of everything I had achieved. I had also made friends for life and met the most talented students. The Escape family was a blessing, and receiving the Escapee title was an honor. I am grateful to Escape Studios for helping me grow as an artist and nurture my love for Production Management, which I am eager to continue developing in the media industry.
