If marshmallows grew on trees, they'd look a little like the fluffy, furry, squirmy creatures growing in Hugo in the Garden, a minute-long 3D animated short by Barcelona-based Slovenian duo Six & Five and Nejc Polovsak (a.k.a., Twistedpoly). The project experiments with what it'd look like if artificial materials germinated or behaved like flora and fauna. Polyurethane foam ensnares a plastic houseplant; wool knitting snakes around a stick. The movements are familiar and organic, but these organisms are unlike any found on Earth.Eze Matteo did the initial sketches for the project. To visualize the squishy, pastel world, Six & Five created the 3D art direction and sculpture design, while Twistedpoly did the animation. A synth-heavy, sci-fi score and sound design invoking the sound of balloons rubbing together was done by Cipheraudio.
