Falling Star
ˇ§FALLING STARˇ¨ is an 11-minute 2D animation short. The story is about following your dream instead of sheepishly fulfilling the wishes of others. In this animation, the production team creates a fantasy world with Star culture and civilization, to tell the story of self-actualization of a dreamer.

Far above the Earth, there is a secret land called STAR TOWN. People there dream of becoming stars by themselves. However, Angus, who's fascinated by Earth, wants to take a journey to the planet down below...... The story is about how Angus overcomes the challenge of popular expectations and fulfills his dream.


Comments from Judging Panel
ˇ§Falling Starˇ¨ is a rare and very high standard student project. With a strong storyline, complete story and a good metaphor which is ˇ§there is more than one way to shineˇ¨, subverting ˇ§starˇ¨ as a stereotypical symbol, these help to bring an inspiring work to audiences. Combining excellence arts direction, the color using, graphic design and close to professional cinematography skill as well as great music and sound effects were outstanding the storyline. This work is a ˇ§must-seeˇ¨ 2D hand-written animation if the rhythm of storytelling could add more charactersˇ¦ dialogue; audiences will be easier to understand the actual meaning.
