Stylized characters mix with hyperrealistic cinematography in this peek into one officer's night shift.
By adding subtle narrative detail to the quotidian nighttime scenes, Renaud and the team created a sense that the audience is viewing only a glimpse of a much larger world.
To achieve a lifelike cinematic quality, the camera felt handheld, and the character movement to be grounded in reality. Each animator filmed their own reference in order to capture the weight and timing of their character's movements.
Renaud was initially inspired by the lights, colors, and cinematic point of view that exists during the nighttime.
"To make the scenes feel bigger, we played with microstorytelling." – Hornet CD Natalie Labarre
