Production

Production for Lost Light began in August of 2013, and entered Post-Production compositing and editing in April of 2014. 

Set in the 1950's along an American coast line, the sun sets, and the last ray of sunlight flies out.  While competing against his fellow rays of light as well as electric bulbs, the last ray  must look for a place to stay and light up for the night.  This 3D animated short will be using complex shading and lighting in a stylized world while featuring a simple piano soundtrack with environment sound effects.

Style Frames:

Opening scene where the sun sets and "Ray" is born.

Ray ends up inside this office before getting frustrated at the desk lamp.

As Ray gets exhausted, he gives it one last chance.

 

Mood Board:

Some inspirations come from Pixar's Blue Umbrella, Laika's Paranorman, and Sony's Monster House.
