Ching-Yi Hsu, Timeline, 2025

This animation is about the concept of timing during life because I believe that the present is made up of the past; we may pause in the past, but we must not stay. This question may recur again and again in life, but I believe that people must move forward with the past.

Ngyen Khanh Bui, The Husk, 2025

The Husk is a hand-drawn animated short that immerses viewers into the concept of cosmic horror in 2D animation. The idea behind this project is to explore creative methods to create abstract and distorted animations that are both vivid and eerie, emphasizing the loneliness and desperation of the main protagonist on an unknown planet.

Connie Hsueh, Love in the Form of an Egg, 2024

Love in the Form of an Egg is a 2-minute frame-by-frame 2D animation. The short animation depicts a girl struggling to cook a sentient egg creature that morphs into different types of eggs.

Xuefen Cao, Look At Me, 2024

This is a two-minute frame by frame 2D animation to explore how natural elements can blend into abstract geometric visuals. It’s about a pixel cube that gets tempted by beauty — the more it chases that desire, the more it turns into a strange flower that looks beautiful on the outside but is actually twisted inside.

Luca Brisbane, Bin Night, 2024

Bin Night is a 2024 hybrid animation horror short set-in suburban Australia.

Trixy Nguyen, Slow Down Look Around, 2025

Slow Down, Look Around explores how animation can capture the feeling of slowing down and truly seeing nature. Inspired by childhood memories of watching fish, flowers, snails, and stars, the work invites viewers to pause, appreciate the world around them, and remember that nature’s quiet beauty is always there—if we take the time to notice.

Zhefeng Wang, Underdog, 2025

This is a 3D animation based on a true story about a food delivery worker.

Jahanvi Borkar, Sleep Paralysis, 2025

Sleep Paralysis is inspired by the unsettling experience of that strange moment when you’re awake but can’t move, and everything around you feels terrifyingly real. Using 3D visuals, lighting, and sound, I wanted to capture that mix of fear, confusion, and helplessness. It’s something that’s always fascinated me, and through this work, I tried to make the audience feel what it’s like to be trapped inside your own mind, even just for a moment.

Celeste Erikson, Glitch Quest, 2025

When two kids are pulled into a haunted video game, their only way to escape is to defeat the ghost that haunts at level 100. Facing foes and buggy platformers, will our heroes live to see their real world once more?

Thai Son Tran, Tenterhooks, 2025

Tenterhooks is a word I borrowed from "On tenterhooks", which means a state of suspense from feeling something uncertainty. The animation shows the repetition of imagination happening on a character, suggesting him to think that he had seen them before.

Prugsa Kakham, PANIC, 2024

May a female student, was enjoying her ordinary days at school. But one day, she had to speak in front of the class, which was a problem for her as she struggled with public speaking and often felt anxious when being the center of attention. Would she be able to get through this stressful moment?
