Student Accomplice - a Driving Test Adventure

Almost everyone who has ever failed their driving test has some kind of excuse. I cannot calculate the amount of “I should have passed” stories I have sat through – often regaled in excruciatingly minute detail – recounting the reasons why they should really, honestly, absolutely have passed.  And the excuses that they come up with!  Yet, here’s one story about potential failure that I wouldn’t mind hearing (except I’ve already watched it).

Student Accomplice is tells the story of a nervous teen who is in the middle of her driving test when she gets caught up in a robbery, with the villain of the piece choosing her car as his getaway vehicle.  Suspending your disbelief for a moment, prepare to do it for several minutes as the high-speed chase (through what looks like San Francisco) unfolds.

This highly enjoyable animated short was created by a group of students at Brigham Young University (BYU) while studying at its Animation School.  It was directed by Spencer Baird and produced by Briele Hanson, with art direction by Brandon Beltran.  Many more students, too numerous to name here, were included in the making of Student Accomplice. Hats off to them all!
