Pogogo

Inspired by NASA's Voyager mission in 1977. Humanity launched a probe with a music of many genres that was meant to speak across worlds. The probe fell into the trap of the villain Strakor from the planet Pogogo. But thanks to music, the Probe connected with other travelers, and they drove Strakor away, demonstrating the unifying and magical power of music.

Director’s statement
25 billion kilometers away, Voyager is the first interstellar object sent by humans. It carries a small golden vinyl - a message to other civilizations, potentially the only proof of our existence in the universe if we all someday perish.
What would happen if someone or something encountered it? How would it intrigue or even influence them? What if the ability to transform vibrations into melodic expressions is something truly unique to humans? Let’s focus on the beautiful things humanity can do—our creativity and ability to love.
Our story will be told through the personalization and animation of the probe itself, giving it a voice and personality so it can genuinely share its story and connect with others across the universe.
Since it’s aimed at the youngest children, we designed the Sonda as a cute puppet in the tradition of dimensional stop-motion animation. Filmed on a greenscreen, this technique allows us to play with the spaces and layers of the universe, creating a rich and imaginative environment.
