"..the highlight of what I saw of Shorts II was Su-An Ng’s Nature on Its Course, a pop song-brief animated trek into snowdrifts of crumpled paper.."

"While most of the shorts are a mixed bag, the animated shorts largely maximize the wavelength of a few minutes of tape—notably Su-An Ng's visually stunning Nature on its Course..."

"A preview collection of short films included such diverse gems as “Nature on its Course,” an inventive, pencil-drawn short by Su-An Ng..."

"...Su-An Ng's animated short Nature on Its Course is candy for the eyes and ears."

"Nature on its Course is a brilliant mixed-media animation about a careless hunter who takes more than he needs. It is a reminder to viewers to respect their environment and not to underestimate the forces of nature. Winner of the 2009 Emily Carr University President's Media Arts Award for 'creativity, originality and taking risks,' the director, Su-An Ng, combines crumpled paper backgrounds with shadowy rotoscope and brilliantly sketched animal silhouettes. Her love of mountains and forests is apparent in a tactile setting that even includes mist. Of course there is a surprise ending. Not to be missed."

"Finally, I must mention Su-An Ng’s *Nature on It’s Course*. It was the winner of the President’s Media Award, as judged by CTV producer Louise Clark, Presentation House Gallery curator Helga Pakasaar and Academy Award winning animator David Fine.

The complexity of Ng’s animation and story-telling only revealed itself subtly. Behind a forest of cubist trees, an intricately modeled moose rears its head as a scribble of ink. And as the hands of a hunter are seen pulling the trigger on his rifle, so too does he trigger a rumbling avalanche of crumpled paper.

In that way, watching *Nature on It’s Course* is as much a visual experience as it is a tactile one, which is why Ng received the accolades she deserves. The jury also commented on the film’s originality, effective blend of techniques, sophistication and how it revealed its message subtly."
