Happy Xmas From Boolab Studios -Boolab Xmas Tree-

It’s been a while since my last post, I’ve been busy with different projects lately!

Here it is one of them, a Xmas salutation from Boolab Studios.

It was done in one week, full-time, afterhours kind of job……..you know, that’s the way it goes when you have a deadline that it is not flexible and haven’t changed in the last 2000 years

Directed by Digo Kalil, a nice and very talented director, and animated by me.

We worked digitally, the rough animation has been done  in TV PAint Animation Pro with a Wacom intuos 3 tablet, and the clean up has been done in Photoshop CS4.

Here are the links to the studio and to the director if you want to check them out!

Venus and the Sun

I’m working too in another short film, titled Venus and the Sun.

Some time ago, my friend Lottie Hope (animation producer of the short film) pass me a draft of the script, and I found it quite amusing and interesting!

So, almost a year after, the script is finished and the machine ready to start rolling!

Now I’m the animation director and I’m designing some of the characters that will appear in the short film.

The short film is a mix of live action footage and traditional animation.

The starring actress is Kelley Hazell, a sculptural top model, in what will be Her first step into acting.

The short film is titled OA, and tells the internal journey to freedom of a men who’s been a  slave of society rules.

The short film already had won the presentation on the Cannes Film Festival, so we are working now to have the complete piece for the next year festival.
