Story

Welcome to Ugago! An office designed to inspire innovation and a sense of community where you will meet motivated A.I coworkers and Dave; the last human working here.

Director's Notes

For us art students, collaborative work, open spaces, team building, as you might know them from well-known companies in the Sillicon Valley, are not so far away. How does the individual survive to work creatively in a huge team? Is there even room in modern society for a regular relationship with your work? The fear of everything being streamlined. A.I isn’t on the rise. It’s already here. One quickly develops an anti attitude towards such projects, but is it really them or are you the problem?

We have traced this thoughts in A.I space. The result is a sci-fi comedy with dramatic undertones.

Students from the Zurich University of the Arts departments of Film, Contemporary Dance, Game Design, Interaction Design, Sound Engineering and Composition joined together with students studying Animation at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts.

They all realized individual projects using the Motion Capture technique. Their projects were linked together in a common story world.

The narrative fictional film was developed by the creative team behind DAS ALTE LAGER.
