Futuristic Toys, a 3D animated short film running for IMAGINA Awards 2006
Futuristic Toys (Giocattoli Futuristi). Claudio Castelli, Italy. 3D animated short film.
Giocattoli Futuristi, (”Futuristic Toys” in English) is the premier audiovisual work of the young italian filmmaker Claudio Castelli. Claudio, with a degree in Industrial Design, is a innovative voice in the filmmaking scene trying to convey a bit more than effects and technology with his film works. Futuristic Toys has been created by the author entirely “in-house”. Castelli is responsible for the screenwriting, the animation, the sound track and the editing.
According to the author’s words:
The storytelling [in Futuristic Toys]] aims to be a reprise of a certain futuristic representation, a grotesque tale of the lack of psychology in this type of dramatic scenes, and which would spark a sense of loss and amazement in the viewer, still remaining in a dreamlike vision. On the other side it is an expressionist “dramma” which contextualize the human being ruled by the mechanicity built by himself and it wants to awake his asleep conscience.
The story touches also issues raised by classic novels as “La Divina Commedia” and “I Promessi Sposi” and wants to provoke thinking for young people ruled by the routine.
I wish good luck to Claudio Castelli and his short film Giocattoli Futuristi (Windows Media Video 24 MB).
