IED Milan Project: Animation Design

Academic year

2021-2022

The challenge for the students was the creation of an animated short film to design and build stories, characters and environments, choosing the best technique to use, defining the most suitable soundtrack and addressing all the technical and production aspects.

In a futuristic reality dominated by an artificial intelligence that has spread through every electronic device, a desperate mother tries to save her son from the clutches of the robots who have kidnapped him to exploit his energy. After building a robotic avatar, the mother embarks on a mission to save her son and destroy the robots who want to use her child as a source of energy. At the end of the battle, the mother manages to retrieve her son, but at a great cost: she had to transfer her consciousness into the body of the robotic avatar she created. Even though they finally reach a free clearing where technology and nature cooperate in a new way, the mother knows she will be trapped in the avatar's body forever.
