Chance of Rain is a 2D collaborative short film, created to encourage imagination and invoke a sense of nostalgia. We wanted this film to feel like the whimsy of childhood, reminding the viewer of their own sense of play. The setting, story, and characters reflect our own experiences growing up in the forests of New England, while the look of the film itself was inspired by the media we enjoyed as kids. With Chance of Rain, we hope that people can reconnect with their adventurous spirits, and remember to take time to let themselves be silly and have fun.
