“Same Day Delivery” Wins “Best Animated Short” at Kodaikanal Fest

Congratulations to the makers of “Same Day Delivery”, the animated short film completed by our Fourth Year MArt students at Escape Studios, which has won “Best Animated Short” at The Kodaikanal Film Awards.

“Same Day Delivery“ was a collaboration between VFX, animation and games students, working together to an industry brief – in this case a short film. Directed by Rohnak Sharma and produced by VFX student Jamie Bennett, “Same Day Delivery” offers a satirical take on the challenges of online orders, failed deliveries and menacing porch pirates. This is its third festival award.
