The Acceptance of Chaos Whirls Through Maria Tomazou’s ‘The Tornado Outside’
Anna’s next-door neighbor is a tornado. Constantly at odds with her surroundings, the young woman shields herself from chaos by staying inside, fussing over small details like the placement of books on shelves and adjusting crooked picture frames on the wall.
One day, strong winds leave Anna’s house askew, forcing her to venture just outside the front door. When the powerful vortex pulls both Anna and her keys into its mayhem, she must confront the reality of unpredictability.
“The Tornado Outside” is the creation of animation director Maria Tomazou, alongside a production team at the National Film and Television School in England. The award-winning short film came to life through stop-motion over the course of a year. According to Tomazou, nearly all elements in the film were animated while suspended in the air with rigs.
