The Synopsis

“The jury awarded Best Animated Short to Birthday Boy because of its captivating and expert storytelling and filmmaking” Bregler explains. “This is a phenomenal film on its merit alone, but even more impressive given that Park is still a student. Every camera angle and motion transcends the screen and transports the viewer into Manuk’s world to experience life as he knows it. The story is so compelling and magical that the 3D animation becomes secondary to the delivery of the film.”
Chris Bregler, SIGGRAPH 2004 Computer Animation Chair
“The jury was especially taken with the convincing depiction of human facial expressions in this lovely animated story.”
