Watch: Funky animated short follows 'tennis ball on his day off'

"Weirdly, I kept thinking about my work." What do you think about on your day off? Maybe some of those same thoughts? Filmmaker/3D animator Julian Glander has released his new short film titled Tennis Ball on His Day Off. It's a whimsical, challenging and fun 2.5 minute short film featuring a tennis ball talking about his thoughts that come to mind while he's not a ball on a tennis court. A tennis ball reflects on aging, self-improvement, the culture of restlessness, and one's own mortality. Julian adds: "Well, I hope you all enjoy watching this short film! Don't worry, it's just a tennis joke, it will make more sense after you watch it." With singer Clairo as the voice of the ball, as well as Karsten Runquist as Handsome Howie. It would be perfect as the opening of a short film with Marcel the Shell with Shoes On. Enjoy.
