The film begins with an archer on a tiny planet shooting at a bird. The short is errant and starts a chain of unexpected results.
Isn't it amazing these days how even college students can produce exceptional animated films thanks to amazing and readily available rendering software and extremely high-powered home computers? Just a few years before EL ARQUERO, such a film only would have been impossible--especially for a struggling student. In recent years, however, many lovely CG films have been produced by film students in dozens of schools around the world. While not among the very best of these I have seen, it sure is good and very impressive considering Raphael Perkins' lack of experience.
