Two pieces of chess engage on a deadly battle while humans are not looking.
And basically, that's it.
I think the premise is good, is just that not much is done with it, feeling more like an animation test than a proper short, having a certain "incomplete" feel, particularly during its sudden conclusion. Then again, this was an student film, and taking that in consideration, the result is quite impressing.
For some reason, it reminded me a bit to another short, named "Chateau de Sable", which also focused on a epic battle on a very small scale, told from the perspective of a little child imagining the whole thing.
I personally think "Chateau de Sable" was far more effective on its execution, but at least the nice CGI animation was enough to make Draw a worth-watching experience.
6/10.
