Radheya Jegatheva brings us a captivating story of a lonely seagull who befriends a drone.

An animation that keeps things simple, well and truly gets you in the feels and for the first time ever, you’ll be rooting for a seagull to steal someone’s chips.

It’s nice to know emotional, animal-based, animations aren’t done yet!

It’s centred around how much we all need companionship but it’s so refreshing to see it done in such an innovative, contemporary way. Its ability to convey and beckon feelings through the simplest of (single) eye tweaks and robotic beeps is something to applaud. It’s nice to know emotional, animal-based, animations aren’t done yet!
