the Song for Rain from Yawen on Vimeo.
Weather-wise, this may not be what one wants on a grey September day having had a weekend of glorious sunshine and blue skies, but it’s such a charming little animation that you’ll be pleased to have seen it. A bitter-sweet story by illustration graduate, Zheng Yawen, about a boy who helps a fox collect rainwater in order to water his flowers, the characters and set are beautifully illustrated in what looks like watercolour or chalk pastels. Lots of muted greys for the urban scenes and lovely bright yellows in contrast for when the suns comes out. I hope you don’t shed too many tears!
