Hi, my name is Riannon Delanoy,
and I am the director of Songs to Sing in the Dark.
This short kinda combines a lot of my different interests.
The natural world and monsters, big, expressive visuals.
This short also seemed like a natural fit for music because it's about sound.
I started to think of, "So, what is sound actually?"
It's a bubble. It has a shape.
As you travel through a room, you get the sense of, sound is three-dimensional.
Kind of wanted to put a new spin on it where it was in a completely dark world,
and this runaway evolutionary pathway's taken hold,
and sound is not just echolocation and navigation,
it's also armor and camouflage, and colorful pictographic holograms.
