Grass Roots Development
Hyper Island
In October 2014 David Johnston from Echoic and Alex Donne-Johnson from Dazzle Ship teamed up to produce a unique storytelling course. The three week workshop was for up and coming motion designers studying with Hyper Island in both Stockholm and Karlskrona in Sweden. To assist the creative process they also curated guest lectures from other industry leaders Marshmallow Laser Feast and weareseventeen.
Hyper Island ensures that the students are gaining experience straight from the front line.

Anna Valdes, course coordinator at Hyper Island said, “David and Alex did an amazing job. Their workshop was challenging and inspiring for the students and I also appreciated the way they managed to keep the interaction with the students on a fun and personal level. They created a great relaxed atmosphere and at the same time energizing. I would love to have them back any time.”
It's important for creative communities to share experiences and grow together.

The students Hyper Island produce are of an exceptional calibre and the culture in which they are nurtured plays a big part in that.
