Flame Wins "5 Stars Award" at BIAFF

"Flame", the short animated film produced by Bucks New Uni MA student Amedeo Beretta, has won an "Five Stars" award at the British International Amateur Film Festival.

"Flame" has been competing into multiple film festivals, but this is its first festival win.

Flame is a short film produced by BNU student Amedeo Beretta, currently studying for our online MA in 3D Animation.  On a dark night in the desert, Flame is born, but she soon realizes that the storm that brought her life is now a threat to her survival.

Amedeo is an animation tutor at Escape Studios in London, and Flame is a project completed by his students, carefully overseen by him, and is an excellent example of the superb work being done by our online students at Bucks.

Production statisticsFlame took 9 1/2 weeks to complete, used eight different software platforms, and used at least 40 computers to render.
