giacomo ghigo animation showreel

Oh yea, finally it is done. My summer showreel for motion studies it is completed: it took ages to fix everything but i hope that is worth it. I really liked doing the short exercises, such as the hammer throw or the walk cycles...it is a shame we did so little of them in the last part of the year: Mr Nick definitely had some interesting stuff to do, i bet.

Juggling animation

I had to re do my juggling animation and i have to say...i really like it. The balls are very bouncy and the clown in the background is funny enough, but enough simple not to distract the viewer. 

Thank to Leonie Isaacs, my guardian angel, for teaching me the simple way of doing this.

flight of fancy

My last experimental movie: I called it Flight of Fancy and it is about cranes and paper planes. It took a long time to be made and it was definitely tiring. I wish i could have added the bit where the crane was crated step by step, but i lost my nerves half way through and sadly i couldn't do it properly without the help of my brother. I like the results of the hand drawn paper animation thou. Oh, it is all stop motion btw

a big thanks to leonie isaacs for helping me shooting this.

Me and my buddy Rob Owen worked in this stop motion movie. The concept was simple and the idea cute (in my opinion). As always the execution isn't perfect, but from two students late for their assignment you can't expect perfection, still we managed (he mostly) to pull out a good story out of it.

I'd like to do more of this, but knowing how busy he always is, i don't want to interrupt Rob's workflow.

a dark story

I am not full satisfied with this shadow animation: i still like the idea and concept, but the execution left me bitter inside. I was very difficult to take pictures of the shadows in total darkness, while holding the paper in he right way. Definitely it is my fault for not organizing my workspace in the right way.

origami maker

The first experimental animation i did with my brother. He moved and changed the crane while i was filming and having amazing ideas: he is studying medicine and admitted that animation is fun and very satisfying.
I'll probably do this as my final year project, because i love origami.
Too bad i can't making any

E4 - Disco Madness by Jack & Mads

This animation was done by Mads Ogaard while i was the director: we had to think about an animation that represented the e4 channel, but then the teacher shocked us by switching our ideas with those of others. How evil. Mads ended up doing a great job thou. I am glad i had to work with him.
