Arianna Gheller: Hypno Tidoo tells the meaning of unconditional love in almost two minutes. In the artistic direction that I wanted to follow, this concept is very important and I think it reflects very well in the aesthetic choices we wanted to adopt from the palette to the materials, from the choice of character designs to the settings and the choice of making the lawn moved by a calm breeze. This is our first project tackled with the carded wool technique and I think the result is incredible. This material has a really powerful expressive energy. Even during the animation I noticed that because I was able to create really complex emotions and feelings thanks to its malleability. I am really proud of this work.
Matteo Burani: Hypno Tidoo tells the story of a child who ventures himself, along with his teddy bear into an ideal, pure, and perfect world. This world represents the vision that every child has about life. Suddenly, a storm arrives and ruins the child’s dreams by turning his peace into a nightmare. The young child faces it proudly but his teddy bear helps him by making the monster vanish from sight with magic. The bear is not only a travel companion for the child but it also represents safety. Imagination is the teddy bear and is the one that saves the child from the nightmare that loomed over him. He brings back a state of peace. Hypno Tidoo is a reflection of our childhood. It wants to demonstrates how imagination can save our lives by defeating the darkest moments that are inevitable in our life journey.
