Attendees at Annecy this week got a sneak preview of Google Spotlight Stories and Nexus Animation Studios’ collaboration, Rain or Shine, directed by London based animator and children’s book author Felix Massie.
Due to launch officially on YouTube and the GSS App later this summer, we have a new trailer that dropped online today to whet our appetite:
RAIN OR SHINE
Directed by Felix Massie
The sun is shining, the birds are singing, there’s a spring in everybody’s step.
Everyone in London is enjoying a perfect summer’s day… until Ella steps outside.
Everywhere she goes it rains – is she going to ruin everyone’s day forever?
ABOUT “RAIN OR SHINE”
Together with Nexus Animation Studio, Google Spotlight Stories proudly presented a sneak preview of RAIN OR SHINE, directed by Felix Massie, at the Annecy International Animation Festival. The studio’s most interactive short yet — as with other Spotlight Stories, the viewer can look around, and in doing so, can find subplots and surprises, in addition to hold for the viewer to return to main view before returning.
ABOUT GOOGLE SPOTLIGHT STORIES
