gofundme.com/nightlight2018Night Light is an upcoming 3D animated short film by UCF's 2018 Character Animation class! We are working together with the UCF Marine Turtle Research Group to create a fun and magical experience, and help save sea turtles at the same time! 聽
Happy St. Patrick's Day! Just over a month 'til Night Light premieres and the Turtle Squad is working harder than ever! We wanna wish you a fun and safe celebration and drop some turtle wisdom:
Green Sea turtles (like our friend, Fin) aren't really green and instead get their name from their herbivore diet making their cartilage and fat a greenish color! So even though he might not be green, he's still as lucky as a 4-leaf clover 馃崁

On this Veteran's Day, all of us here at Night Light want to thank our nation's heroes for their years of service and sacrifice. Your bravery has granted us the freedom to do what we love and we are forever grateful. To honor you this day Abueluna, Lumin, and Fin salute you. Featured on our Veteran's day poster, the Signal Corps emblem flies as Lumin salutes our Veteran's and Fin sports a headset worn by those who served our nation by flying in Army helicopters. We want to give a shout out to those who served in the Army Signal Corps and those in the Task Force Lighthorse unit. We would also like to pray for those currently serving overseas, especially those who are family members of some of our Night Light crew. To show our support of our military, the Night Light team put together a care package full of artwork from our film as well as sketchbooks and coloring books for our soldiers. From all of us here on Night Light, Happy Veteran's Day and "Rock of the Marne!" #veteransday #remberance #vet #vetday #vets #animation #3danimation #ucfanimation #seaturtle #moon #illustration #drawing #photoshop #studentfilm #floridaartists #orlandoartists #artist #3d #maya #digitalart #doodle #nightlight #ucf2018 #ink #sketch #ucf
Happy International Animation Day! To celebrate, Night Light wants to share some cool information about green sea turtles with the help of Layla and Kiki from our sister film, @ukelayla-film!
A sneak peek into Abueluna's exciting work guiding baby green sea turtles to the sea! Please excuse the finger--she's still working on her photography skills! 馃槄聽
Lumin is a curious light bulb who lives in a streetlamp by the beach. Most nights, Lumin watches the sea turtle hatchlings go to the sea, other nights he stays in and fashions cute clothing like his cape out of garbage!
Abueluna watches turtle nesting shores from her cozy trailer on the moon. During sea turtle hatching season she uses moonlight to guide turtles safely to the ocean. Abueluna enjoys playing dominoes with her friends and catching up with her favorite novelas on her time off.
