— L'orco che mangiava i bambini
Book app trailer
A story for children and adults about an overgrown ogre that loves to eat children. Not all children though.
Only gluttonous ones that devour sugar, sweets, chips and fizzy drinks. The stick-like figures typical of Gilberti’s style
are the spindly protagonists of an entertaining story where monochrome black is interrupted here and there by the odd touch of red, reflecting how the humour of the story and its illustrations create a twist in the tale of a wicked but very clumsy ogre, struggling with a ‘diet’ that would make even the greediest child healthy and balanced.
The message to lovers of junk food then is to be careful what you eat, otherwise you may end up in the ogre’s larder!
This educational app is designed to open up the possibilities of creative play within storytelling.
In particular we worked on transmedia translations by developing a communicative artifact starting from a paper picture book in order to amplify the potential interaction that was already in the book. To start your adventure you have to choose your own character and then you have to play different mini games to escape from the ogre.
Can you get to the end without ending up in the ogre’s larder?
