Escena and Gobelins Paris have joined forces to launch an animation incubation program designed to develop an original 2D animated short film by Mexican animators.
As part of this unique collaboration, you’ll develop a 2D animated short under the guidance of experts from two of the most respected institutions in the industry.
Through high-level workshops taught by instructors from both Escena and Gobelins, you’ll strengthen your skills in directing, storytelling, and animation production. Gobelins faculty will apply their signature educational approach in partnership with Escena, guiding you through every stage of the production process—from the first spark of an idea to final postproduction.
The teaching vision at Gobelins aligns closely with Escena’s through a Project-Based Learning model, which allows students to deepen their education by turning knowledge into action.
Pre-production:
Scriptwriting, concept art, storyboard, and animatic.
Production:
Layout, animation, and sound design.
Post-production:
Compositing, final image, and sound editing.
The program is composed of in-person classes with creative workspaces designed exclusively for the Animation Incubation Program, backed by the full support of Escena and Gobelins.
Sessions are led by instructors from both schools and take place at Escena’s campus in Mexico City, in a dedicated area built to foster collaboration, and fully equipped with professional-grade workstations and creative tools.
The program begins in January 2026, and you can apply from June to September 2025.
