Logline
In a whimsical universe made of music, a lonely blue world, Blue, struggles to find its place. Just as Blue is ready to give up, an unexpected bond with an opposite world, Red, changes its course forever. Will their bond stand the tests of time?
Synopsis
A sound experience sweeps around us in the dark, eventually directing our attention forward. The music builds into a climax, until a blinding flash of light shoots us into existence. We ride through the expansion of space-and-time, eventually splashing into an isolated blue world: ‘Blue.’
Blue is vibrant and expressive. It sings out for connection – but goes unheard. It longs to explore – but remains fearful of leaving its orbit. As many lonely years pass, Blue’s vibrance dims into despair. The darkness intensifies, and Blue freezes over. While floating lifeless in space, something locks into Blue’s gravity. A colossal dark world with cracks of red lava, ‘Red.’
Seemingly ominous at first, Red reveals itself to be curious, timid, and gentle. Unwilling to leave Blue stranded, Red returns in orbit annually – painstakingly thawing Blue with its heat – until…Blue finally awakens. Mutual apprehension turns to playfulness; playfulness blossoms into trust. Their connection grows stronger, their gravity pulls them closer, their orbits align.
In a vertigo-inducing audiovisual sequence, we ride with the two worlds as they encircle the sun together in a cosmic dance. Until, in a climactic leap-of-faith, they fling themselves into open space towards each other… We are left in awe as the two worlds now encircle each other like a planet would with its moon.
But bliss quickly turns to doom… Blue notices a distant asteroid storm heading directly towards them. Red sacrifices itself to shield Blue, but both are hit. We watch in pain as Blue falls unconscious into the deep depths of space. Blue awakes, Red is gone. More alone and afraid than ever, Blue is tempted to numb itself into an ice age once more, but hope overpowers despair, and Blue has a vision for what it must do…
Will Blue make it? What will be their destiny?

Victor Scorrano — Lead Animator
Victor Scorrano describes himself as a digital surrealist, though he embraces various art forms in his creative process—excluding minimalism, despite his fondness for minimalist friends. His journey with art began as a child, crafting macabre doodles that someone thoughtfully preserved, possibly for professional evaluation. Unfazed, he continued to evolve, discovering Photoshop 7.0 in 2003, which marked his entry into digital art.
Victor’s artistic exploration spans diverse media, from graphic design and photography to 3D, VFX, animation, and, most recently, AI. While his technical expertise developed early, his drive to delve deeply into his artistic side emerged later. Today, Victor shares his unique universes and interpretations of daily life with a world he describes as “somewhat 8-bit” while considering himself “64-bit.”
An alumnus of the Academy of the Poor Self-Taught People in Italy—“the cradle of art,” as he affectionately puts it—Victor has collaborated with renowned artists and companies, including Coldplay, Lil Nas X, Spice, Kill the Noise, and CL. Notably, he worked on two projects with Apple Music that, despite being “super nice,” remain under wraps.
Victor constantly pushes creative boundaries, embracing every step of his artistic journey with joy and curiosity, eager to see where it leads.
