The story
MOLES"s story revolves around a young mole named Plato. Plato lives deep underground in a dark burrow full of mystery and surprises together with his mum and dad. He is a restless, curious and thoughtful creature. Plato is fascinated by the light that penetrates the entrance to his home. Sometimes it is lit; sometimes it is off... Why could that be? Our young friend is desperate to see what is out there in the outside world and one day he finally gets to see it all! Plato discovers day and night, the sun and the moon, and the stars! Plato’s best friends are Alfa, Beta and Gamma with whom he loves to sing… and go treasure hunting! Good thing that the professor Socrates keeps an eye on our young friends… as sometimes things can get a little out of hand…! The story has been inspired by the Greek philosopher Plato's "Myth of the Cave".

The design
The film MOLES stands out for the beauty and simplicity of its visual design. Characters and setting are developed with clear and tender consistency. The illustrations are suggestive, warm and very expressive. They are filled with poetic messages that will stir the imagination of boys and girls.

Score: Thad Anderson

“cloud9 sunshine” is an evocative mood trip across the Sunshine Skyway over Tampa Bay. It is a wistful mix of natural and architectural beauty and the encroachment of population, shot with a six-camera Gopro rig and post-processed in After Effects.

A simple exercise of geometry and color exploring metaphors we employ to express ideas about our observations. What is our point-of-view? What is our perspective? How do we approach or distance ourselves from a topic? How is it different to observe a process from the inside or from the outside? Do we deal with something head-on or take a different angle of approach? How do these choices distort our perception of reality? Created with a virtual 6 camera rig in the Processing computer language.
