Ercule!
I had a lot of fun animating this douche of a character. Channeling some memories of douchebags while I was growing up, I tried to caricature them in a way that’d make for a character you love to hate.
The storyboards for these scenes were inspiring and funny already, so it was more about milking the entertainment value. His unique character design also let itself to some fun posing.
The second scene here was a collaboration with two other talented animators, Paulie who handled Cicco and Guido, Maria who animated the police woman and the fisherman while I handled Ercule. The idea that Ercule would slap Cicco in the nose was a happy accident while we were blocking the shot out, luckily it got a laugh so it stayed.
Poor Cicco.
As always, big shout-out to everyone who helped with these shots and for the other department’s work on them.

Some Luca work!
This small scene, part of the “swim” sequence was my first casting on the show. It also happened to be the first sequence in animation, and the “Silenzio Bruno” shot ended up being the first shot to be finaled in animation, a sweet way of diving into the film.
Being the first sequence in animation, we spent a lot of time figuring out the personality, style of movement and appeal even though there was a ton of great preproduction done beforehand.
It was fun to figure out how the physicality of Luca would change between his human form and his sea-monster form, and to show a subtle difference between Luca and Alberto.
I’ve included my very early thumbnails on these. Though similar in spirit, the details evolved through the process. We tried several versions of these shots, with some great feedback from the animation team, sweet drawovers from @deanna_marsigliese, the other leads and ofcourse, the man @enricocasa before landing on this.
Shout out to all the other departments for their stellar work on this too!
Silenzio Bruno!

Highlights of my recent sketches from my trip to India.
This was planned to be longer covering more places, but unfortunately Covid had other ideas.
Some of these are more successful than others. I’m not a watercolor artist by any means, but these were fun to do.

Last post on Luca.
This was a sequence called Rooftop, Luca dreaming about what the moon and stars are and what the human town is like.
I had asked to work on these shots because it seemed so endearing, and I wanted to try and animate a quieter scene than I typically do.
These quieter scenes were what I loved about Pixar and Ghibli movies, so I’m glad I was trusted with it.
It was tricky for me to balance the graphic style of posing and animation we were chasing with the sincerity of acting it needed, but with the help of the rest of the team I think it came together alright.
Shout-out to the lovely work by the other departments too!
Working on this movie is one of my favorite experiences in my career so far.
There’s more that I’d animated on Luca but I think this is a nice scene to end it with. Thanks all!
