The 48-hour film challenge is a regular event at CalArts. The theme for 2013 was “duck” and Nicole Stafford’s 48-hour film from the same group was a recent Cartoon Brew short pick of the day. Anderson put together the following short, called Buff Dog Workout Video, featuring a hapless duck and one of her characters, Buff Dog. The rest of the students’ “duck” films are collected here.
