What is your name and your current occupation?
My name is Riccardo Messi and I am currently working as a concept artist and character designer in New York.
What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
I had my first job in a ceramic factory. My main duty there was to design decorations for new products and collections. Â I have also worked as a music teacher and concept artist for amusement parks; then, finally, I entered the world of animation.
What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
Basically I am proud of all my work, because behind each stage of my carrer there has been a path to get me there. Â Because of its popularity I would say WInx Club, an Italian animated series that has been a huge hit in many countries around the world, makes me the proudest, as well as having done storyboards for Disney Channel commercials in Italy.
Where are you from and how did you get into the animation business?
I was born and raised in Italy, where the animation industry, especially in past years, had not been at its best. Â Drawing is not easy, but Continue reading
What is your name and your current occupation?
My name is Alexandre Belbari, I am 24, and at the moment I work as a Creature Animator in a Film company called Trixter, I am animating Wolves for an Upcoming BBC Series.
What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
My best memory of work would be pizza delivering in France, I was doing this job at the same time of my animation studies. Â It s bloody dangerous but really fun for a small period. As you get a low salary, you put all your efforts on getting a maximum amount of tips from the client ;p
What are some of your favourite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
As I am a total fan on Marvel films, I was really proud to work on the last Xmen- First Class, and it was also my first film project. Â Another favourite project would be Prometheus , it was a really good experience! ( I haven’t seen it yet but I usually love Ridley Scott movies )
How did you become interested in animation?
When I was really young, when I saw for the first time Jurassic Park and Terminator 2. From that moment, my dream was to work in visual effects, Then I saw Continue reading
Very happy to report that Warner Bros. Histeria! is finally coming to DVD after almost 20 years on the shelves. I was lucky to have directed many episodes of this forgotten gem created by Tom Ruegger, and I can’t wait to revisit the past and see old friends once again!
The Warner Archive Collection today announced that Histeria! – The Complete Series is coming to DVD on July 12th. This MOD (manufacture on demand) set will cost $59.99 SRP, and you can pre-order it from Warner’s online store, WBshop.com, using the button link below. Under that is the front package art. Amazon.com isn’t listing this title yet, but we’re sure they will be soon. We’ll have links to that, too, as soon as we can. TVShowsonDVD.com has more on the release.
A truly incredible and mesmerizing use of 3D printing!
3DPrintingindustry.com is reporting about a zoetrope which was created by modeling people’s walking movements, turning them into a 3D axis and then 3D printing the resulting model. Usually a strobe light is needed to give the illusion of movement, but Akinori uses a thin slice of light to bring the figure to life. Zoetropes are thought to have been used for over 5000 years, but the basic drum like form of the zoetrope was created in 1833. They are often used for pre-animation in films. 3D model versions have been used for Studio Ghibli projects as well as Toy Story. By looking through the slits in the drum, you can see the animation. The faster the drum spins, the smoother the image.
