What’s Up Student Universe
Blast off into an extraterrestrial adventure with this wild project for What’s Up Cosmote!
This quirky animation is your cosmic guide to fixing those pesky bleeding radiators while whisking you through mind-bending black holes teeming with spooky space octopuses. Hold on tight as the journey takes a turn for the bizarre—you might just be lucky enough to cross paths with the three wise men of the universe, a trio of eccentric beings ready to share their galactic wisdom. The visuals are a chaotic delight, blending a touch of pixel art with a hefty dose of random digital picture collages, all sprinkled with a bit of mystic magic from the cosmos above.
The surreal design process brings together neon laser beams, floating nuts and bolts, and iconic landmarks like the Colosseum, set against a starry backdrop. A golden pogo-stick-riding cow, a control room with a brain-headed figure, a green deity, and a pixelated cat add to the whimsical chaos.
This series of videos, bursting with sci-fi flair and collage techniques, snagged two Bronze Ermis Awards at the 2017 Ermis Awards, proving its out-of-this-world charm. This is a trippy ride for real!
