Top Bombing - Animation for an Editorial Project.

The animation is produced in response to the proposal Vassar have put froward to build a political sanctuary in Nevada, commenting on how everyone is susceptible to temptation, even our world leaders. In particular, due to the fact the sanctuary is being built 17 miles away from the Sunset Strip, Las Vegas.
The animation also makes reference to the sour relationship between the USA and Cuba. It makes comment on the Cuban Missile Crisis by using visual metaphor, yet still upholding playful ridicule.

Raul Castro jumps or 'bombs' into the sanctuary's swimming pool, where George Bush is relaxing in his rubber ring.
