Shakespeare
For All Ages

In just three short minutes, we embark on a heartfelt tribute to the masterful works of Shakespeare. When Siew May reunites with her former professor, the esteemed Professor Hannes, head of the animation department at NTU — School of Art, Design and Media — magic happens. Together with the animation maestro, Jay, they breathe life into the professor's illustrations and sketches, crafting a film that's vibrant, playful, and full of energy.

Their goal? To bring Shakespeare's timeless tales to life in a way that's accessible to today's audience. Instead of drowning in dry lectures on verse and drama, they opt for a more engaging approach. Through beautiful imagery and seamless storytelling, they offer a modern-day snapshot of Shakespeare's brilliance. It's a cinematic journey that invites even the busiest smartphone user to appreciate the genius of the Bard.
