The Road Not Taken

A quaint, poignant appetiser for the main course from this animation team.

I'm not super into texts that exist entirely to utilize other texts.
The poem exists!
What's YOUR poem??!

The use of a pre-existing poem as a structure, with individual parts of that portioned off to different children, was a great way to get many younger children started with filmmaking. It was a great film to start off the heats.

You guys did a great job telling a classic poem with many different animation styles! It flowed together nicely, and was peaceful to watch. What may be a good idea for the future is to try and record cleaner audio, but apart from that you guys did a fantastic job, especially for making it in only 24hours!!!

For a hot minute I didn't recognise the poem and I thought this was an original piece of text write specifically for 48 and I nearly exploded considering it was the first film of the schools heat. But it's still a hell of an accomplishment using a public domain poem and for me the animation style here complimented the tone even better than in The Little German Boy. Tino pai tīma

What a great little pre-show before the main event from Rolly this year! So cool to see you stretch your creative muscles in this digital realm and try this medium out.

THE BEST THING: A great re-telling of a classic piece of culture
THE NEXT THING: A fully animated story from rolly next year????
