Cartoon  One  is  a  Production  and  Distribution  company  for  kids animation series based in Rome.

May 2006-January 2008

I joined the starting-up CartoonOne as compositor in a rush and in an outstanding deadline during one week of backbreaking overtimes..that was the welcome.

During my period here I worked very hard, “growing” in a magic atmosphere as working with friends/collegues is.

I joined different productions and co-productions for Ferrero Spa, Felix The Cat Creations, RAI Fiction, Hahn  Film-Germany, Epidem ZOT-Finland.

I started working as Senior Modeller and later as Modelling Supervisor, giving to CartoonOne my contribution to win the Pulcinella Award (international animation award) as “Studio of The Year 2008″ at the Cartoons on The Bay, Salerno, Italy.

Below a selection of these works:

2006|I Lampaclima e L’Isola Misteriosa – (ITA, 2D, 47′)

2006-2007|Gli Skatenini e Le Dune Dorate – (ITA, 3D, 35′)

2007|FTCC (Felix The Cat Creations) of Don Oriolo.(USA, 3D, Teaser)

I had been employed here as Senior Modeller and I worked at different stages of the production.
I worked mostly as characters modeller and I modeled a great deal of blendshapes for expressions as well as phonemas and corrective blendshapes however I also modeled props and enviroments.

I did also a lot of textures in Photoshop doing also UV’s Layouts, improving these for shading and texturing as required for an highest detail.

As Senior Modeler I modeled a lot of stuff from the 007’s Aston Martin, DB5 to the blendshapes for all the main characters inside the movie (Admiral(Sean C.),Vicky(the duck above),beavers and rabbits and all the other human) checking and fixing also the previous charaters modeled before my arrived.

I was honoured to work for Sean Connery whom I consider one of the most awesome actor in the world.

Due to the fact that the film is still in production,I can’t show my work
Please, return later.

• Name and address of employer:

Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna – Pisa (IT), CRIM (Research Center in Microengineering)

• Type of business or sector

Educational Institution; Research industry

• Main activities and responsibilities

I started a collaboration with CRIM(Research Center in Microengineering) an european leader in the research and development of bio-inspired and/or bio-applied micro- and nano-robots and systems center.
Now I’m working on a large-scale european project “ARAKNES”, for an innovative robotic system for endoluminal surgery.
I’m in charge to model this robot and I’m working very closely with the Biomedical Engineers of the school with whose I have a constant brainstorming.

My Role: CGI&3D Consultant , freelance (May 2009 – present)

This is the robot:

As freelance I follow all the production process on my own from concept, modelling and/or animation to shading, texturing, compositing as well as video editing and direction.

That’s an amazing large scale project with 11 among bigger european companies and renowned universities ( Imperial College, London-University of  St. Andrews..) and I’m honoured to give my contribution to this kind of projects.

I will be also in charge to follow the shell design of Araknes. I’m looking for both some great company or schools that could be suitable with our expectations.

I’m also going to follow stereoscopy, wich is at the base of Araknes’s technology, with some 3D tests to check a new autostereoscopic display  .

Working with the research give me the opportunity to stay always up to date with the innovation.

Below an animation and pictures that I did for some conventions and/or meetings around the Europe as well as in Bruxelles (European Comunity):

My Role: HighPolyAssetSupervisor (July 2009-Present, Italy)

|Magic Crystal Teaser

This is a very nice feature film.

I already worked on the teaser a couple of years ago in CartoonOne-Rome.

Below the shot in which I worked on.

For this shot I was in charge to do the Lighting, Shading, Texturing as well as the compositing in Shake.

Now I’m working as freelance for Studio SUMATRA (Viareggio-Italy) and I’m following the modelling stage as HighPolyAssetSupervisor.

Basically I’m doing a modelling check with continuous retakes to keep a good polygons density in the geometry, and preparing each object with the best unfolded UV as well as the best UV’s cuts.

I’m doing a meticoulos check in the geometry seeking out triangles, N-Gones and all that the guys have forgotten as well as give them tips as “problem solving”..
