Description:


    One day a man who doesn’t communicate with his son receives a box by mail, and he finds a strange helmet in the box. He is transformed into a Kudan (a human head with the body of a cow, which wonders around the parallel world) when he wears it.
    The director tried to design characters that can only be created with 3D CG. He also tried to render the shot in a single pass and apply tone mapping after the rendering.
