Orange
This animated short poses some interesting questions: what if buildings pulsed, trees tapped out beats, or shadows could whistle a tune? Through the creative interpretation and animation of the city's natural rhythms, Orange orchestrates a contagious urban dance. Produced as part of the 5th edition of the NFB’s Hothouse apprenticeship.
