Playground, Italy - Matty Brown

Met a bunch of amazing Italian strangers in the northern region of Trentino, Italy who took me way up into the Italian alps to go hiking and mountain biking. People have been asking me to make a sports video, so thought it would be fun to try it out! A week of run and gun fun! I feel like I now have a second family deep in the mountains of Italy!
Thank you everyone who guided me through and took me in with welcoming smiles and giving me such a great adventure! Special thank you to Mikaela Bandini, Chiara De Pol, Paolo Pincelli, Caspar Diederik, and Lucia Pecoraro.
And to all the bikers and hikers who took me way up into the mountains to show me the Italian way of life! You guys are truly an inspiration! I hope to be as cool as all of you someday, haha! :)

Another great project: Weber Shandwick - Matteo Sanna personal work

I just finished another great experience. I worked for a month at Weber Shandwick, recognised as one of the 100 Best Companies to work for in the UK by the Sunday Times in 2012.

I had a really great time producing 2 videos of medical animations. I was in charge of the entire production: modelling, shader, rigging, animation, render & lighting, compositing and final editing. It was a funny work.

Hope to work again in this environment. I'll post soon the videos.

Last 2d piece of animation at Disney, Wreck it Ralph test animation - Nick Ranieri

The end of an ERA...

Reposted from Nick's facebook page (original post date 6/11/2013):

"It has been several weeks since my last Animator page posting. As you're probably all well aware by now, I no longer work for The Walt Disney Company. June 10th was my last day. In October of this year, it would have been 25 years. Disney was my home for the last quarter century and I'll always be grateful for the people I worked with and the experience I gained there. The last couple of years have been the most difficult of my career. At times I was filled with hope that my skills would be utilized in a new hand-drawn film. At other times, I doubted that a hand-drawn feature -- hybrid or otherwise -- would be produced at all. We were pretty much kept in the dark for over 2 years and once the word did come out that no more hand-drawn features would be produced, it was only a matter of days before we were "given our notices". I'm not so much sad that I was let go as I am sad that they gave up on a medium that, if given the right treatment, could be a viable product once again. You may wonder, what will I be doing now. I can't tell you that because I don't know. It is said that when God closes one door, He opens another. I pray that He will guide me to the right door and that I'll open it with confidence. Not in myself but in Him who guides my path.
As a parting reminder of my last years at Disney, here is my last hand-drawn test for a Disney production. I was asked to animate the character of Ralph from "Wreck-it Ralph", as a guide for the animation of the character in the film. It took me 2 months to animate this scene because,
1. I had to adjust the look of the character as it changed, which meant redoing some of it and
2. I basically did all the drawings myself. Most animators don't do every drawing in a scene, but I wanted it fully animated and since I didn't have any inbetweeners, I had to draw everything.

Enjoy."

The autor Ryan Emond: "Moments in China is a collection of vivid moments I experienced while traveling around China last month. The piece flows from Hong Kong to Beijing, and visits Guilin, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. Some moments are more significant than others, but I have a personal connection with each. The video is particularly special to me because I have not had time for personal projects over the past several months."
