Computer Animation Grad Wins 2018 Student Academy Award

Computer Animation Grad Wins 2018 Student Academy Award

Updated after the 2018 Student Academy Award ceremony on Oct 11.

Congratulations to Eaza Shukla (CA,‘18) and to the entire Computer Animation department! Last night she won the bronze medal for her piece, Re-Gifted !  This makes her eligible for a professional Oscar this February–fingers crossed and CONGRATULATIONS!

About the 2018 Student Academy Awards

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences voted 19 student winners in the 45th Student Academy Awards. Eaza won for her work, Re-Gifted, in the Animation category. The film, which follows the life of an unwanted gift that is passed from person to person, explores some sensitive and heartfelt issues, which artist Easa discussed in her statement:

With the film, I sought to make a quiet and atmospheric piece based on my own feelings of isolation and struggles to belong. I wanted the story to resonate with people and encourage them to reflect upon the way we treat ourselves and others. The core message of the film is that even though there may be times we face hardships and feel extremely inadequate, we must never give up on ourselves.

Watch Re-Gifted.

This marks the 14th Student Academy Award for the Ringling College Computer Animation department! 

This year, the Student Academy Awards competition received a total of 1,582 entries from 278 domestic and 122 international colleges and universities, which were voted upon by a record number of Academy members.

Students will arrive in Los Angeles for a week of industry activities that will culminate in the awards ceremony on Thursday, October 11, at 7:30 p.m., at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills.  The medal placements – gold, silver and bronze – in the seven award categories will be announced at the ceremony. 

A huge round of applause for Eaza, and to all the winners announced (see below). Fingers crossed for her medal placement in the ceremony next month!

Spaces

The Alfred R. Goldstein Library features a wide variety of quiet, group study, and work process spaces. Looking for a quiet study area? Make your way up to the 3rd floor to look for a book in the Research Collection or peruse the new art magazines while relaxing in comfortable seating. When the weather is nice, you can take your coffee from Roberta’s Café on the first floor to one of the four terraces to work outside and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. Looking for meeting space to get together with a group? Check out the group study rooms, which are available on all three floors of the Goldstein Library. The 10 group study rooms are available to students on a first-come first served basis, or available for booking by Ringling College faculty and staff for group and class meetings.
