‘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.
