Awards ceremony of the second contest of Animation and VFX La Salle-URL

Last Sunday June 5 within the b'Ars festival, Barcelona International Arts & VFX Fair, took place the award ceremony of the 2nd edition of the Animation and Visual Effects contest of La Salle-URL. The jury was composed by Felix Balbàs, director of the Degree in Animation and VFX La Salle and other faculty members.

Member of the jury Sergio Jiménez emphasized the high level of participation this year and made reading the jury's decision stressing that "all jobs received show a great interest and dedication from participants, and in one way or another everyone can feel winners. Behind each work received hides great potential that we believe can develop and strengthen with time, dedication and guidance".

The prize was divided into three categories: performing a script, character design, or creating an animation. The prize in each of the three categories was 30% scholarship for tuition for the first year of the Grade.

The winner in the script category was Paula Soler Torres, who presented a very well prepared and consistent work. In character design, the award went to Judith Batlle Farres, who "not only presented the design of a character that stands out by its clean lines, the quality of design, and the various poses, expressions and situations, but also tells a little story to contextualize and make sense, and thus the presentation of the character is much better understood and sticks out from the others". Finally the prize in the animation category was for Cintia Sabater Vilchez, who presented a very complete piece combining a good job of script and blending different animation techniques in the same piece: 2D, stop motion and cut out."It also contains small samples of illustration and rounds the piece with a good editing job with good, with good transitions and a good sound work".
