The Lighthouse Keepers

Tor.com posted The Lighthouse Keeper this past weekend as part of their Saturday Morning Cartoon series. The dark, sleek and slightly steampunk animated short features the titular lighthouse keeper battling an unusual invader. The creative team is listed by Tor as “David Francois, Rony Hotin, Jérémie Moreau, Baptiste Rogron, Gaëlle Thierry and Maïlys Vallad”.

When I went on YouTube seeking that short, I instead came across a different work with the same title. Though the second course of The Lighthouse Keeper has slight similarities in setting and pest problems, the style is much more raw. This short was directed by Josef Prokop and produced by QQ Studio and CINDY Films.
