Bridge - an animation



Great example of student animation! Imagine, YOU could be doing this in college and as a career! Very fun stuff!

Info:
Bridge is a story about four animal characters trying to cross a bridge, but ending up as obstacles to one another in the process. The moral behind this story revolves around how there are often disagreements or competing paths in life, and the possible results of pride, obstinance, and compromise.

Music by Greg Gauba.
