Reading in Bed
Written, Directed, and Scored by
Andrew Eckel
A couple happily reading in bed run into a few problems.
This hand-drawn, marker-on-paper animation was filmed using 1,150
drawings by 21 animators, which were alternately lit by a pair of
lamps and a set of flashlights shining through crystals and
reflecting off of mirror balls.
