‘The Race’ | 1994\u00a0<\/em><\/h2>\n

Here’s an old short I created way back when I was at the University of Bradford. It was heavily influences by Pixar’s early short films.<\/p>\n

The story centres around the idea of various household items coming to life when no-one is around and on this occasion decide to have a race between themselves.<\/p>\n

The ‘MaxCool’ anti-perspirant spray is of course the coolest of the three characters, pretty much oblivious to anything or anyone and will\u00a0win the race even if that means breaking the rules a little.<\/p>\n

The ‘Wine Glass’ is portrayed as being a bit scatty and nervous and perhaps a little out of its league, easily impressed and a little overwhelmed by the other two.<\/p>\n

The central character, the ‘Wooden Toy’ is a show-off, \u00a0plays by the rules, would certainly never cheat and is confident of winning against these two inferior competitors.<\/p>\n

The catchy, bouncy music was courtesy of the super talented musician\/sound engineer, Andy Johnson, resident composer\/audio engineer at Crush! Ltd back in 1996; It was added several years after the original short had been created.. I defy anyone to not have this tune fixed in their brain after hearing it a few times.. it’s just so damn catchy.<\/p>\n
