Mr. Night Has a Day Off

Animation, Ignas Meilunas, 2016, 2 min.
Why is the night changing the day? Well, when you don’t like something, you change it.
Talking Points:
-
What is Mr. Night’s goal? Does he accomplish it? How?
- If you watched our Short Take Outdoor Cinema, you might notice that the filmmakers used a similar technique of animating characters over photography of real settings. Can you think of a fun way to sketch or collage over photos?
Get Creative:
- Learn how to draw Mr. Night by following these steps. You can add him to any image you want!
