The film tells the story of Bobo, a lonely monster who looks set to spend yet another birthday alone. That is until a hunter throws him a killer party.

The project took a total of eight months to complete – and it shows. The level of detail in the animation is absolutely ludicrous, putting this student production on par with some of Pixar’s greats.

Congratulations to that team of local animators: Sarah Scrimgeour, Aarin Lehkuhl, Romy Latter, Miro Kolenic, Jarrod Hasenjager and Matthew Furnell!

[Thanks, Craig!]
