Little Fluffy Clouds plays YoYo for the sheer thrill of it

Part of a series of shorts created around childhood toys of yesteryear, Yo-Yo, is an eye candy catching abstract exploration through interwoven visuals and sound. Composed of a suite in four acts it depicts the elemental journey of an object as it moves through distinctly separate worlds. Acting as a catalyst, the Yo-Yo leads the viewer on a free fall journey through a tarantella of visuals and sounds. From a duo-toned black and white vortex, through a cavernous forested organic world, on into a distorted landscape of cool, turquoise, sunlit water to finally rest in a platinum palace of clockwork mechanics. Animated in Softimage, Mental Ray and After Effects with a multi-layered soundtrack.
