Turbulence

This animated short perfectly captures the type of flyers an anxious passenger is always bound to encounter on a flight – and how a little turbulence always brings out the, err, best in people.  Our anxious flyer gets to be told off for squealing a little too loud by the father of the babies who have been squawking all through the flight.  He is sandwiched between a man whose relative has explained everything to him – it’s all down to aerodynamics – and a young businesswoman whose use of similes brings no comfort whatsoever.

The film is a collaboration between Tumblehead AnimationStudio and Houdini3D and I for one (despite being an uneasy flyer to say the least) found it very amusing.  Perhaps I related to the main character a little too much, but the final comment from the air steward at the end of the film put the metaphorical icing on the cake (as that really did happen to me once!).  Turbulence is not going to put you at your ease if the thought of flight makes you anxious, but at least it shows us that we are not on our own in that respect.
