The Birthday Present

Can love and determination triumph in an arid desert? On his way to get a birthday present for his loved one, our tiny protagonist, a desert beetle, faces nature in its most inhospitable form. Will he survive? Music by Chopin. Directed and animated by Carlos Pacheco. My final project at the San Francisco Art Institute stop motion animation course.
