Description:

“The Nightshift” is a short story about a dispute between the monster­in-the-closet and the monster-under-the-bed over who gets to scare the kid that evening. The film combines live-action background plates with two computer-generated characters. The live action was shot with a dig­ital camera, and the two monsters were created and animated with PowerAnimator and Maya, and composited with the live action in Adobe After Effects.
