Deadline by Bunliu (aka Bang-yao Liu) is a wildly creative stop-motion animation where thousands of colourful Post-It notes come alive — and not in a helpful way. Made as his graduation project at the Savannah College of Art and Design, this viral short film hilariously visualises the chaos of procrastination and looming deadlines.
Armed with over 6,000 sticky notes, Bunliu painstakingly animated each frame to create a fast-paced battle between a student and his animated reminders. The result? A relatable, eye-popping metaphor for creative pressure and mental clutter that every student (and office worker) understands.
Deadline isn’t just a film — it’s a visual panic attack, wrapped in colour and delivered with humour. It’s a must-watch for fans of stop-motion animation, creative storytelling, or anyone who’s ever lost a fight with a to-do list.
