Tell A Story (prologue)

One of my favorite parts about Pixar movie is the short video they always put in the front as prologues. From the very first "old man's solo chess" (Toy Story), to magician's rabbit (Wall-E) and stork (Up), they are neat and uplifting, serving as appetites for Pixar-esque humors.The latest hit, Day & Night, has something more.

The design of the animated windows not only naturally integrates 3D scenery into the 2D parody, but also provides a spotlight perspective to engineer audiences' attention. The 3D magic powerfully pops out of the flat canvas, flowing along the sleek storyline...

The story was about how "Day" and "Night" unexpectedly found each other, opened up their minds, and in the end realized the fact that they're no more than the mirror-images of one another. It reflects how blinded we are when jealousy and hostility occur to us, not seeing ourselves making the same mistakes, and how friendships help us see our own strengths but yet appreciate the beauties of others. After all, we are all in the same body.
