About the Challenge

During the summer of 2016, the motion design studio Parallel directed a video about unsatisfying situations: the frustrating, annoying, disappointing little things of everyday life, that are so painful to live or even to watch.

We quickly realized that there are a lot of other situations that would be fun to see animated, so we decided to run an animation challenge around this idea.

Feel free to submit your own unsatisfying video(s)!

Submit your video

This challenge is open to everyone. You just have to respect a few rules:
