平塔工作室AR动画短片《Ello》
《ELLO》是Pinta第三部原创VR动画作品,是一个讲述“孤独与希望”的故事。ELLO(主角)独自生活在宇宙角落的一个小星球上。为了让别人知道自己住在这里,他修建了一个大型的霓虹灯广告牌,希望借这微弱的光亮能够吸引到其他人的注意,可日复一日的等待和期盼,却从未得到过任何回应。作为Pinta的第三部VR作品,《ELLO》在流畅叙事,探索细腻情感的同时,融合了多种新的交互方式,譬如观众对主角的关心程度,决定了交互的结果,并可能在一定程度上影响到故事的发展走向。Pinta在不断探索和突破VR叙事类动画体验的边界,这也是Pinta完成从最初关注“重拾梦想”(《拾梦老人》)、倡导“勇敢自我”(《烈山氏》),再到“续航希望”(《Ello》)的情感延展。
“Ello” is Pinta’s third VR project, a little sweet story about loneliness and hope. When people expect friendship or love, proactively pursuing rather than passively waiting might lead to a surprising end. Ello, who lives in a corner of the universe alone gardening his loving planet and maintaining the only billboard day by day expecting it will draw other’s attention. An unexpected disaster ruins all and makes Ello into deep despair, yet, another unexpected spaceship travels through his planet. In this VR animation, while fluent narratives and exploring delicate emotions, a variety of new ways of interaction, such as the audience’s interest in the protagonist, determine the outcome of the interaction, and may affect the development of the story to a certain extent.
