In this excellent 3D animated short entitled The Fly by Hanjin Song, and inspired by Asian philosophy, a Samurai seeks inner peace through meditation. But as he tries to rid himself of distractions, he discovers that they seem to be coming at him harder and faster.

The morale here is not to resist the problems, but let them flow naturally. As Lao Tzu says, “Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them - that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.”

This short animation was his 2006 thesis in Computer Animation received from the Ringling College of Art and Design in Florida. You can find more information about Hanjin Song on his blog here.
