The COFA Annual 2013



Resume

My statement is not written in stone. As a filmmaker and animator, I want to experiment all sorts of techniques and narratives. Style and identity is something that will come to me with time and not something I will impose to my art.

“Anima Radix” is a sand animation piece based and inspired on the principle of creation, of coming to life and the search of identity. With these basic guidelines, I followed an organic production process in which the narrative was taking shape as the sequences were produced, triggering a constant feedback between animating and storytelling.
