Xmas post

2010-12-20T13:45:00.016Z

It's been two years since I started working on this piece, then last week I finally managed to get it done.
This sculpture it's so meaningful to me, as it's based on a period of my son's life (from 7 to 9). At this time, for some reason, Lino got himself totally immersed into 1940's, to the point he decided to live as a IIWW boy, dressing up every day as an evacuee and carrying a cardboard box containing a gas mask I had to make to him, asking his mum to cook recipes from that time, not to mention the countless times we had to visit the Imperial War Museum. More impressively, he would ban himself from videogames and any electronic devices for weeks in a row! That era last 2 impressive and funny years, and I'm glad we even celebrated it at my birthday party asking our friends to come dressed as 1940's too. Check it here.
So well, I thought one day that it would be nice to make a sculpture from that character I was living with. After a few sketches I jumped into the clay model, but to get the mold and cast done took me a while as I was afraid to destroy my model in the process! Anyway, this is it ;)

Late Halloween post

2010-12-09T14:28:00.030Z

Before Xmas strikes us, nothing better than a Halloween post, isn't it?
My son, as a big Star Wars fan, asked me if I could make a Sand People's costume for him this year. Thought it wasn't too tricky to make it, then I decided to have a go using whatever I could find to match all the parts from the original thing. Any sort of materials: yogurt pots, permanent pens, old bets, newspaper, balloon,even party blowers suited well. Charity shops and Poudland also proved to be a very good source and helped me a lot. It took me a good 3 or maybe 4 days to get it done.
Lino hadn't seen the mask until it was ready - as he was out traveling - when he got back I got the nicest and most rewarding call from him while I was at work. He was truly surprised and happy - that was a priceless day for me. Well, now I can share with you a few nice pictures I took through the whole process plus a short film we (Kika, Lino, G. Lucas and myself) did for fun. Thanks for visiting

CDragon - CbBc Ident proposal - 2009

2009-08-01T02:16:00.014+01:00

Back to early 2009 (during the apex of the economical crisis), I was watching to Cbbc channel with my son and had an idea: 'Lino, let's do something like that!' as he answered back: 'Yes we can!'

After a quick brainstorm, the ideas started popping out of my head, nothing brilliant to say I was proud of myself, but you know, it was a start. Then Lino came up with the brilliant idea you see below _ Damn it! He did it, he got the right spirit of the thing. Well, what else could I do after that, just dropped my ideas down to the bin and started working on it straight away (under agreement of splitting any profit 50/50)

Two weeks after that, the little tiny piece of animation was done, and we were happy with the result achieved. Ok, that was easy, the second step was not. Finding the right person to present it.

I went through all of my contacts and contacts of my contacts, sent several emails for quite a few people, but unfortunately it never happened for real. We got a few nice feedbacks though, even one from a producer directly involved in the project.

Anyway, best part of this project was to find out what great partner my son turned out to be!

PS.: the other video is just a simulation I did laying my bit over the real thing, only the dragon bit is mine.

Back to 2000, or maybe 1996?!

That's a short cg animation beautifully made by my talented comrades from Terracota and Estudios Mega circa 1999/2000. The whole thing was based on a 2 page comic I did for a cartoon contest in 1996, which luckily gave me the first prize and a few pennys.

The character design is also mine.

I hope you like it!

That was one of the 2 shot test I did for the Creature Comforts USA project at Aardman in 2006. The second shot was better and longer than the first one, but the file is corrupted and I can not access it at all :(
