Wing It is an animated short. The plot of which surrounds Sherman, an inventor desperately attempting to achieve first flight. However, his attempts are as overzealous as the ill-fated engineer himself, making him the butt of many cruelly penned satires by the media. Enter a well-intentioned alien race who endeavour to aid the hapless hero, but we soon learn that the intergalactic intervention staged by our alien counterparts is to be just as fraught with comic misadventure.
Wing It was produced by graduate students of the Animation School in Cape Town, South Africa over the course of 8 months and was released in November 2011. It received considerable Vimeo response, which earned the film a listing on Vimeo's features. The animation also trended online and has been reviewed on numerous forums and in multiple online publications, including Day and Night, the Irish Independent and Forbidden Planet International as well as being featured in Total3D, It's Art Mag and 3D World Magazine.
