Four talented students from Buckinghamshire College Group have been chosen to showcase their work at Origins Creatives 2024 in London this July.
Tom Laize, a student of Graphic Design & Illustration, along with Creative Media Production students Alex Hogarth, Fin Jordan, and Korben Wilkinson, were selected by UAL Awarding Body’s curator, Charlie Levine, from over 500 submissions.
Laize’s piece, A Big Misunderstanding, explores the principles of animation, featuring techniques from Disney’s early years. Hogarth, Jordan, and Wilkinson’s short film, Somnium, delves into the concept of lucid dreams in a cinematic style.
Shaun Thomas, Tutor in Graphic Design and Illustration at Buckinghamshire College Group, expressed his delight, stating, “This achievement is a testament to Tom’s hard work and dedication during his course.”
Attila Kiraly, Lecturer in Media at Buckinghamshire College Group, added, “It is fantastic to see our students' work exhibited and I am incredibly excited for them all. Their creativity and commitment have truly shone through in their project. I eagerly anticipate the remarkable work they will produce in the future.”
Mrs Wilkinson said her son “was so surprised and happy” upon hearing the news.
She also extended her gratitude to the college staff for their “help, encouragement and guidance.”
