Dust Bunnies: Watch the Award-Winning Muckumentary Created by Media Design School Students

Are you passionate about 3D Animation and VFX? Then you won't want to miss Dust Bunnies, the latest short film with creature effects produced by students enrolled in Media Design School’s Bachelor of Art & Design programme. After touring the international film festival circuit for a year, this animated muckumentary has finally been released to the public, and it’s a must-see for aspiring animators.

In this playful and witty film, Dust Bunnies explores the hidden lives of mischievous but cute little bundles of dust in an episode styled like a nature documentary. As Sir Rupert Codswallop narrates, the dust bunnies wreak havoc at night, creating mayhem in a household by scattering toys and even invading a dollhouse. The chaos climaxes when the homeowner attempts to clean, only to discover the most dreadful menace of all – a wet dust bunny!

Dust Bunnies has captivated audiences worldwide, screening at 19 venues across cities like Rome, Madrid, and Sydney. It even graced the famous Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, California! During its festival run, the film won awards for Best Animation and Best Short Film, while also being nominated for an additional six prestigious awards.

Now, you can experience this incredible student-led collaboration from the comfort of your own home. Dust Bunnies is a testament to the creativity and hard work of our talented animation and visual effects students, who worked alongside industry professionals to bring this project to life.
