Experience ‘Buggy Night’ from Google Spotlight Stories
The latest entry in Google’s Spotlight Stories series has been released this week via their YouTube channel. Following recent offerings from talent including Tim Ruffle and Patrick Osborne, director Mark Oftedal (who worked on the preceding series entry Windy Day) brings us Buggy Night, a new short boasting tremendous design work by renowned illustrator Jon Klassen. Produced by Google ATAP’s Karen Dufilho with Windy Day director Jan Pinkava serving as creative director and music/sound by Scot Stafford, Buggy Night depicts “a nocturnal group of singing bugs interrupted by a flashlight beam…and a very hungry frog”.
Preceding its availability on YouTube, Buggy Night previously launched on Moto X and Moto G and on the Google Spotlight Stories app on Android and iOS. It is also available alongside similarly child-friendly shorts as part of the YouTube Kids app. (iOS, Android), while compatible Android devices will be able to take advantage of its 360° interactivity using the YouTube App.
For those who’ve not yet experienced a 360 short you can watch a specially made explainer video below:
