Short Pick Of The Day: ‘#FlattenTheCurve, Part 1’ by Studio Desk

“After the outbreak of COVID-19 and the beginnings of global lockdown, we sent out a call to animators from around the world to send us a short animation depicting something positive they have experienced, seen, or thought in the midst of this strange time. Over 90 animators sent us their contributions, and this is the first film our of a series of three.”
