He Was Always One Spark Away | An Animated Short Film About Anger

He loved two things: basketball, and his little sister. He had one problem. Every little thing lit the fuse. Spilled juice. A coach yelling. A lost game. And every time, BOOM. Then he lost it at the semifinal, in front of everyone. And then he said something to his sister he could never take back. SHORT FUSE is an animated short film about anger: what it costs you, the people who pay for it, and the one second between the spark and the explosion that changes everything. Breathe slowly. Think. Then decide. Anger is a spark. You decide if it becomes a fire. 0:00 He was always one spark away 0:07 Basketball and his little sister 0:18 One problem 0:29 Every little thing lit the fuse 0:50 The semifinal 1:04 Get out 1:23 This time, he took that second 1:43 Day 3, Day 9, Day 16 1:59 The state final 2:19 Champions 2:29 The same spill 2:37 Still one spark away Every frame and note of music in this film was made from scratch.
