ABSTRACT
Sam is a 3D animation created and directed by student Kyle Winkleman. This animation explores the career choices that we make throughout our lives and the challenges that come with these choices. Sam, the principle character, has become discontent with his role in life and seeks new challenges. An opportunity for change arises when Sam discovers a career-programming disc that has been discarded by a disgruntled pilot. Sam inserts the discarded disc into his computer and receives pilot training. Soon after, he embarks on a solo flight that will test his newly gained skills. During the flight, Sam’s programming disc fails and he is forced to rely on his own skills rather than technology. At the conclusion of the flight, Sam must choose between the roles of janitor and pilot.
