Growing Up Is Hard To Do

Created by a team of alums from the legendary Supinfocom graphics school, this short animation tells the story of a little boy called Gary who falls in love with a hot older chick. Bringing a new twist to this age-old dilemma, Gary creates an alpha male fantasy with which he hopes to seduce her (suspension of disbelief mandatory).

Inspired by such cornerstones of French culture as cult crooner Serge Gainsbourg and novelist / director Romain Gary, the short animation is a rich narrative of visual metaphors that challenge classic “coming of age” notions, in a strong graphic style that utilizes 3d technology to stunning 2d ends. Gary is one to watch, refresh and re-watch.
