Il Re dell'Isola (The King of the ISland)

2009-10-27T20:12:00.009+01:00

Il re dell'isola (The king of the island) from artFive on Vimeo.

This is a short film i've been animating on while working in Genova at Art5 Animation Studio.

It has been entirely released on vimeo and so here it is!!!

Download the artbook PDF: artfive.it/re/king_artbook.pdf

artFive website: artfive.it

Gioannin is a 6 year old child who lives in Italy at the beginning of the 1900. He dreams of his strong and wonderful father he never knew, missed at sea and never returned. He will discover that a dream is not worth what real life can naturally give, despite its difficulties and disappointments.

'The king of the island' is the second short film directed by Raimondo Della Calce and produced by artFive animation studio. The movie tells the story of Gioannin, a shy and lonely child, left no father because of a mishap occurred at sea years before. Gioannin is a kid, he doesn't know the meaning of the word death. And if his father left and never returned, then it means that he must have stopped somewhere on an island, and with his extraordinary ability he must now be the king. From the exasperated dream of Gioannin comes the title of the movie, which goes back in time, in the early 1900's Genoa, Italy, with its port at work, the alleys, the old pier and the famous lantern.
The film was financed by artFive with the intention to test the ability of the studio after the short film "Heterogenic" (2003) and the production of commercials and television series that have followed from 2004 to 2008. The whole production lasted 18 months. The idea behind the movie is to face a profound and universal issues as the relationship between father and son, in a setting of Mediterranean flavor, from the scenery to the music and atmospheres. The main meaning of the movie is that dreaming is something very important for each person, but having the courage to face the reality and appreciate it despite its difficulties and disappointments, that is true life.

Some News and a Video

2008-11-28T01:14:00.010+01:00

Well as someone has already realized i'm not having too much time to update my blog...
I'm going to start a new work on january and in the meanwhile i must search for a new flat and move back to rome again after one and half year spent in genova...making more than one thing at time makes me crazy guys (it's not a joke)so i've been not able to draw or animate or making creative kind of stuff and i'm not going to be able to do some until all the matters are settled in the best way.
I just spent some time travelling over India and i took a lot of pictures.
I finally decided to edit them in a video with some music.
Just clic on the Taj Mahal pictures to look at it.

evening nude class

2008-06-04T00:15:00.002+02:00

the pose, since i'm always in late, was hard enough tonight...the spine torsion is something i tried at least a dozen of times,,the left shoulder aaaarggh and the worst thing is that i'm really incapable with chiaroscuro there's nothing to do with it...never practiced it and never found a teacher able to explain me how to start with it...he would like to see a kind of academic stuff...and i really feel like a student at his first day at school...brrrr

life drawing's class sketch 2

2008-01-24T22:42:00.001+01:00

here it is today's evening class sketch
i'm happy about that since i tried for the first time to workout white on black.
The right part seems to work fine and i like it a lot!
i'm sorry about the left part of the drawing since i had not enough time to make it better...
i was supposed to refine the left shoulder,arm,hip,leg and also to make a try with the head and the hair...
what counts at this stage is that i enjoyed a lot in making my hands dirt and so i'll go forward trough this way.
cheers

2007-10-21T17:27:00.000+02:00

after more than a couple of months without putting hands on my lovely wacom i'm back with few new drawings...i'm near to the final version of santino...i still have to solve some troubles with the legs.hopefully i'd ask to a friend of mine to make a CG model of him and i guess it will be not so simple to try animating a short legged character...but actually i'm more interested to make a maquette with plasticine so the legs can be funny this way.

santino

2007-09-15T18:06:00.000+02:00

this is an old sketch for a short movie based upon the vicissitudes of a couple of spaghetti mafia' characters.i'm still trying to give to Santino his own face.
