Description:
“Distraxion” is a character-driven short film about the personification of an office worker’s late-night annoyance: his boss’s cheesy jazz music. The film relies on traditional storytelling and animation principles, and it represents an accomplishment in the field of online animation education.
The majority of the film was developed during the short film curriculum at the online schoolAnimationMentor.com. It was then polished by the artists working separately and remotely over the following year.
