Escape Studios is proud to present “Tatty“, the latest short film created by our third year animation and vfx students at Escape Studios.  Directed by Amelia Watson and produced by Wiktoria Swierk,  Tatty was a collaboration between undergraduate animation and vfx students at Escape Studios, working together to create an original story.  Studio projects such as this one are part of what we call The Escape Method – bringing together students with multiple talents to work in teams.

Tatty tells the story of a stuffed toy elephant in need of a little tender love and care.  After all, there is no such thing as perfect.

Software

Tatty was animated in Maya, rendered in Arnold, and edited in Adobe Premiere.
