The department rallied behind this project as its first major collaborative, setting up a special workflow curriculum designed to help light, render and get the film out the door.

The Academy's only other Student Academy Award came in 2003 for Bert, written and directed by animator Moonsung Lee. Watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0I0g3zCUSk. By simply examining both films, you can plainly see how far the program has come in eight years.
