Ride along on just another night shift. Subtle narrative detail in the quotidian nighttime scenes unveil just a glimpse of a sprawling, enigmatic world. The goal of this short is to craft a captivating scene that hints at a universe beyond while immersing viewers in singular moments.

"To make the scenes feel bigger, we played with microstorytelling." – Hornet CD Natalie Labarre

Renaud drew inspiration from the captivating interplay of lights, colors, and cinematic perspectives in the nighttime. To achieve a lifelike cinematic quality, the team infuses a handheld feel into the camera work, grounding character movements in reality. The animators took a hands-on approach, filming their own references to meticulously capture the weight and timing of each character's actions.
