Under Par

[ Gallery ][ Video ]

Under Par is a short animated film about two under achieving-crabs who think they find fame and fortune when they discover a golfball that they think is a pearl. Their fortune is snatched away when a golfer casually walks onto the scene, taps in the ball and struts off. Ever so quickly, the crabs return to their normal insignificant life.

The film was produced at the Art Institute of Phoenix, and was originally a team based assignment for preproduction and production, However, over several months, the project became far more than just an assignment. It became a statement about our team’s committment to quality, aesthetics and teamwork.

Special thanks goes out to David Stipes, for his personal support/ reccomendations, and our Production Team class for their input and suggestions for the film.
