– Duration / Duración: 00:12:10

– Synopsis / Sinopsis:

Once upon a time, old magazines gently danced in the wind, and super-8 cameras could roam freely across wooden tables while the carpet flowed in and out. Everything was nice and easy in those days, love was in the air and the music was really, really nice. Suddenly a mouse happened. The mouse of course looked for a nice spot and planted himself as mice do, then a whole Mouse civilization sprang
up, happily singing, joyfully consuming, busily hurrying, towards inevitable destruction. Without a care for the world. How can they be saved? The camera can only watch, only the mice can stop themselves. But they continue their joyfully dance to the very end. Plastic waste has reached the point where not even the most distant beaches are safe. There is no moral in the story. While we ourselves
will not last for very long, the consequences of our actions will last forever.

Once upon a time… Old magazines gently dance in the wind. A super-8 camera crawls over a wooden table while an old carpet flows in and out. Suddenly, a mouse and then a whole civilization running towards its inevitable destiny, while a super-8 camera searches for a lost Love. Plastic waste has reached the point where not even the most distant beaches are safe.

Había una vez… Revistas se agitan al viento, una cámara Super-8 se arrastra sobre una mesa mientras una vieja frazada va y viene. De repente, un ratón, luego, una civilización corriendo hacia su destino inevitable, mientras que una cámara Super-8 va en busca del amor. La contaminación plástica ha llegado a tal punto que ni las más lejanas playas están a salvo.

– Environmentally-friendly efforts of your filmmaking process:

Most of the materials used in Teclópolis were donated by an obsolete electronics recycling entity that at the end of the shooting were given back for recycling.

– About the CanCanClub

Teclópolis is an independent project of experimentation in stop motion; experimentation not so much in the animation technique itself, but rather in the way the whole work is organized. The script, the characters, the sets, and the lightning  are decided, changed and revised on a daily basis during the shooting process, by improvising with the animators, the Art Director and the Photography Director, in a more dynamic theater-like way than is usual in animation. For weeks the animators train with characters and scenes that finally do not even appear in the movie. Shots are repeated over and over again until they come out right. Whole scenarios that were dismantled must be re-mounted whenever a change in the script requires it, taking weeks of painstaking reconstruction. The movie itself is a mere result, of an experience of freedom and work, lived and shared by the whole team.

– Director statement:

The film is the consequence of two years of trying to enjoy each day of work and experimentation at Cancanclub, and to be open to constant changes in script and sets as the work progressed. It was financed fully by ourselves and done with independence from any kind of expectation of result. Regardless of this apparent chaos, the concept of the film evolved clearly through endless discussions by the whole team.
