In June 2024, the “Short film creation” course team began working on an animated fan teaser for Oban Star-Racers, an animated series directed by Thomas Romijn and Savin Yetman, released in 2006, about a place where once every 10,000 years, the great racers of the entire universe stage big race to win the Grand Prize. The guys decided to rethink the original series and try to make their own version of a teaser for it.
