Breakdown of the animation process, from rough key poses to fully animated cleanup. This is a fanart from Tales of Alethrion, by Skjaldborn.

Learning is the key aspect of the process, important as much as the actual output.

Fanart animation of Wilhelm from Tales of Alethrion. ToA is one of my favourite indie animation project, and probably is amongst the shows that inspired me to learn animation and pursue craftmanship.

I made this animation as a personal project to explore animal animation and body mechanics.

This is the third exercise I did studying the Prince of Egypt animation.

As for the others, I studied the poses, character model sheets and then proceeded reanimating those scenes, observing the original drawings and trying to breakdown the animation process.

Second experiment, this time I focused on hand rotation.

For this studies I chose some scenes from the 1998 feature animated The Prince of Egypt. I studied the poses, character model sheets and then proceeded reanimating those scenes.

This is a assignment from a course by Zyngaro (Giacomo Rinaldi) on patreon on introducing cutout animation on Toon Boom Harmony.

We worked on animating a walking cycle, approaching the cutout animation with a strong support of paperless animation techniques.

This is a little experiment. I had this simple vfx animation rough I did that I imagined with a visual treatment that recalls old animations. Of course all the work from @studiomdhrofficial on Cuphead is a huge inspiration!

Throwback to a cool project from 2024 I never posted.

I animated a motion graphics videoclip for Angelina Mango's live tv performances.

The pitcher

Recently I decided to clean up and color a couple of baseball rough animation. It was challenging and rewarding.
