A BURNLEY student has taken his first step to fulfilling his dream of working for Pixar Animation Studios in America after winning a runners-up prize in a national animation competition.
Jessedrie Tuzara, 16, from Blessed Trinity RC College, entered the KS4 individual category at Animation 17 at Manchester University – a national competition involving 368 schools.
Jezz said: “I had to make a one-minute animation and it was called ‘Steps to Success’,
"I used the animation of a bookworm, who I called Mr Blackburn after my ICT, Computing and Business Curriculum Leader at Blessed Trinity.
“Step One was start at the bottom, Step Two was reach for the top, Step Three was to accept failures and Step Four was work around the clock.
Jezz, who recently took a lead role in Blessed Trinity’s production of Oliver, said acting also influenced his animations.
