What does the art of animation have in common with music? Yes, very very much. Even more than one might normally suspect.
Here I introduce the three “pillars” on which the entire edifice of our talent and our work rests: movement, acting, storytelling.

Every single animated drawing (or every pose on a computer) is in a state of studied imbalance, it is an “interrupted action”.

And that space-time “void” between one drawing and another, between one frame and another, which the observer’s perceptive apparatus completes autonomously, is the true “raw material” of our art.

The concept of “causality” represents the first “insight” of the profound mutation that pure movement is able to confer on the perception – and therefore representation – of a dynamic reality. And it was for me the first revelation of what represents the primary foundations of the animator’s work.

The most crucial, determining and, ultimately, most personal and “secret” phase takes place right at the beginning of the story, the moment in which we go from first aspiring to then planning and finally deciding to start this adventure, not more as a dream, an eccentric passion, or a means of expressing one’s personality, but as a real, paid, daily “job”
