Trailer for Felix Massie’s ‘Rain or Shine’ released
Rain or Shine, the upcoming contribution to Google ATAP’s Google Spotlight Stories series of immersive, interactive short film experiences was showcased at the Annecy International Festival of Animated Film this week to much enthusiasm. The film, directed by Felix Massie (In The Air is Christopher Gray) and designed by Robin Davey, was produced by leading UK studio Nexus Productions and is set to launch this summer. Google Spotlight Stories recently launched the first full trailer for the project to give audiences an idea of what to expect:
Following previous Spotlight Stories such as Glen Keane’s Duet and Patrick Osborne’s Pearl, Rain or Shine takes the viewer on the comic journey of young Ella who’s keen to show off her swishy new sunglasses, only to be dogged by a persistent raincloud whenever she puts them on. The viewer has a direct impact on the pace of which the events unfold, depending on where their focus lies at various points throughout the film.
