Missing U is a 2013 short animated film made by Brooke Wagstaff which was featured in multiple film festivals.
Plot
A 3D animated adventure that follows the letter I as she travels great distances to find her missing U.
Production
The film was created by Wagstaff over the span of a year and a half while she was a student at the Ringling College of Art and Design. She made it for her senior thesis while pursuing a degree in Computer Animation. It was created using the 3D computer graphics software Autodesk Maya but styled to mimic a variety of traditional techniques such as hand-drawn animation and claymation. The film was made only using resources available through the school.
