What Light (Through Yonder Window Breaks)

This is amazing: ephemeral, illuminating, ingenious. Animated with a mixture of stop motion and time lapse, it forms characters from light - sunlight reflected from masked mirrors, beams passed through open curtains.

Like playful Mysterons these figures bounce around a room, an adventure in an afternoon or a mystery in a morning or a drama in the daytime - the sun is up and stuff is happening.

The credits illustrate the process, the sound design is excellent. Sarah Wickens' visual work is inventive, possibly unique, and Graham Lawson's sound work integrates with it brilliantly. Seek this out, if only to marvel at it - its unique feature probably wouldn't scale past an animated short like this one, but that doesn't matter - this is just enough, and it's a delight.
