Tauri is a newly-formed star who has the ability to be transported to the dreams of different people. Their name comes from T-Tauri stars, which are stars that are less than ten million years old. Tauri's design is not only meant to represent child-like wonder, but is also meant to be more neutral so anyone can imagine themselves in the place of Tauri.
Meet Tauri
3 Styles, 3 Mediums
The dreams that Tauri explores are in 3 styles as well as 3 different types of animation. Some dreams are more painterly and in 2D with bits of stop-motion, while others are more abstract and in 3D! We did this to emphasize how everyone's dreams can look either very similar or vastly different.
"I had a dream where I was at an aquarium..."
Every Dream is Special
"I had a dream... that I was at the circus..."
"In my dream I remember a lab..."
Each dream featured are real dreams from the crew's family members and friends. Dreams are things that can be about anything and make such drastic changes, so using actual dreams helped us in creating the story and where Tauri should go. It also makes it feel more connecting in a way; hearing people you don't know and can't see talk about an experience they had while sleeping, it gives you a glimpse into their minds and how they see the world. Maybe you've had a similar dream, or maybe their dreams remind you of something, someone, somewhere.
