Pirate Lesson

Pirate Lesson is an action-packed comedy adventure short film that initially follows the story of a fierce captain commanding his ship forward into battle with a trusty bird crew. However in reality, this captain is a loving father who thinks the battle is a perfect opportunity for a driving lesson for his son, Mr. Meatball the Third. The uninformed bird crew turns to shambles as they must put their fate in the hands of an empty-headed child learning the ropes. Together they must survive the chaos of the world around them and even more dangerously, survive the patience of a loving father to their son.

Will the bird crew perish in this battle? Does the captain’s trust go too far and most importantly, will the son receive his license?

Pirate Lesson was created and directed by Sofia Azpe. It is a 3D animated film that features 3D characters and environments with a 2D painterly look and effects. The style of animation leans into more cartoony with pushed timing and poses at a frame rate of 12 fps.
