The Weatherman and the Shadowboxer is a 2014 Canadian short film directed by Randall Okita.[1] Mixing live action with animation, the film depicts two brothers whose shared childhood traumas have led them in very different directions as adults: one, the "weatherman", has become a cautious, careful man who tries to protect himself by obsessively predicting the future, while the other, the "shadowboxer", has become an aggressive, violent man who is constantly fighting the past.[2]
The film was acted live, but the actors were then replaced with animated silhouettes depicting their inner emotional lives with abstract shapes and images.[3]
