Oh Crap…
Oh Crap… is Oscar Li’s undergraduate animation minor capstone short film produced at the University of Southern California during the 2020-2021 academic year.
Synopsis: A young man encounters a large bowl of spicy ramen inside a restaurant and decides to consume it. Shortly after, his bowel movements force him to face his internal enemy: the digesting ramen. He grapples with the fight to expel the enemy from his body, but the digesting food will not give up without a fight. After struggling for some time, the victorious young man successfully excretes his waste and feels at bliss. As he washes up outside, another person runs in and the cycle repeats.
Oh Crap… has won 3 awards and has been selected at 17 film festivals internationally. Take a look at the film below:
