One Step Ahead

About This Movie

One Step Ahead is this fascinating piece of animation that captures the frantic energy of urban life through the eyes of an office worker. You watch him sprint through the city, a chaotic race against time and his co-workers, which really hits home the pressures of modern life. The pacing is relentless, matching the protagonist's urgency, and the visuals are striking—there's a unique blend of styles here, probably influenced by the commission for Art of Speed at Nikelab. It’s not just a story about outpacing your colleagues; it digs into themes of competition and the absurdity of daily grind, all while using practical effects that give it a raw, tactile feel. It’s a curious watch, for sure.
