The Shadow Puppet
Animation
By: Haofei Han, Lu Zhang, Fanqi Sun, Chuqiao Zhong, Xindi Yang
Course: IAT 343 Animation
Description: The protagonist of the story in this animation is a shadow puppet. Living in a confined setting, the shadow puppet repeats the same actions day after day according to the script of the shadow play, living a life controlled by others through the rods attached to his body. One day, he decides to rebel. He notices a door in the distance to his left. So, at the intersection he passes through every day, instead of proceeding forward as usual, he decides to turn left and push open that door. As he approaches the door, he realizes that the rods controlling him are restricting his steps. He tries his best to remove the rods from his body and gradually makes his way towards the door. Pushing it open, he steps into a broader world.
