From classroom to screen: Metropolia students create Fleak shorts

We had the chance to work with some up-and-coming talent on a short we did in the lead up to the release of ”Fleak” in cinemas.

The talented students at Metropolia created a short with us - handling everything from initial concept and storyboarding through animation to final lighting & comp, all with mentoring from our senior artists.

These shorts were used on our social media in the lead up to the Fleak premiere and were also shared with distributors internationally.

It was a pleasure to work with
Meiju Alihaanperä @daynightblossom
Ella Räntilä
Hilla Koskela @glaceative
Niilo Lehtinen
Jens Kruskopf @jaytracing
Anna Maijala
Kris Keränen @krisukoo.png
Katja Hautamäki @katsuopeia
Viktor Weckroth @mr.kalmisto
Aida Cederqvist @fishstiksss
under the guidance of their tutor Kristian Simolin.

Great to see the next generation of Finnish animation talent in action!
