Hey everyone, got a short film for you all!  フミコの告白 (Fumiko no Kokuhaku) which translates as “Fumiko’s Confession” is a 2009 short animation by the artist Tete (Ishida Hiroyasu).  It’s the story of a girl who asks a boy out, but gets refused because he wants to focus on baseball.

(Note – telling someone you’d make them miso soup everyday is a marriage proposal of sorts in Japan.)  Hiroyasu Ishida (aka Tete) independently directed, animated, edited, and recorded Fumiko no Kokuhaku while at Kyoto Seika University’s famed Faculty of Manga.  He received some assistance on the backgrounds, 3D CG textures, in-between animation, and 3D modeling.
