Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Who makes all of these?

All of the films are created by myself. They are all my own ideas and stories, sometimes inspired by myths and legends.

Q: What about the music?

Nick Fevola wrote the music for Papiroflexia, The Windmill Farmer, and Sebastian's Voodoo. The scores are 100% original.

The music for Placenta is an old German folk song which was in a music box my mom had when I was little (and she hums the melody in the film too).

Q: How long does it take you?

It depends on the film, but in general a short film will take close to a year to complete.
Sebastian's Voodoo: 10 months
The Windmill Farmer: 4 months
Papiroflexia: 8 months
Alphamorphosis: 3 months
Placenta: 4 months
Proserpine: 6 months
Baba Yaga: never finished it
PedXing: 1 month

Q: What programs do you use?

Autodesk Maya is my main tool now, along with Adobe After Effects for compositing. I paint and design a lot using Adobe Photoshop.

For webdesign, I use Photoshop and Dreamweaver. Most of it is hand-coded.

Q: Where did you learn to animate?

I am mostly self-taught. I played with computers since I was very young and learned to use different graphic applications ( I started with 3d studio max on the 3d side). I made many animations before heading to college.

Q: What inspires you to make these?

A lot of my work is inspired by poetry, poetry with lots of visual imagery. Papiroflexia actually started as a poem, it was a sonnet I wrote years ago, and then turned it into an animation.
