Role: Direction & Design & Animation
‘The First Class’ is my second short animation - it aims to highlight
the absurdity and brutality of the South Korean education system, in an
abstract and metaphorical way. As an artist who has been exposed to different mediums, I chose to use a range of mixed media - 2D and 3D digital graphics, frame-by-frame drawn animation and photography.
