My name is Giancarlo Castano. I’m a 2D Animator, Illustrator, Background Artist. I created a 3-minute animated short film in 2023 and finished it in 2024. During that same year, I worked as an animator for “Tap 4 Technologies” a small start up tech company. I created a 60-second animated trailer for their upcoming VR application. In early 2025 I participated in a game jam and worked on the user interface for a video-game my team was creating.

In late 2024 I was hired by Tap 4 Technologies to create a 60-second animated trailer to promote their upcoming VR application, “The XR Community Library”. The trailer took about 2-months to produce. I did the Animation, character designs, editing, and backgrounds for the trailer. My boss at the time, created the script for it. The voices for the characters in the trailer were provided by me and some of the employees working at T4T. Later in December I was tasked with making a second trailer for Tap 4 Technologies VR application. This time only being 20-seconds. the trailer took a month to produce and once again I did the animation, editing, and backgrounds.
In early 2025, I participated in a game jam. The team I was in was tasked to create a video-game in less than 3-days. Everyone decided that the game would function as a rollercoaster tycoon type of game. But instead of building rollercoaster in a theme park, you’d be building bases on Mars (since the theme for this game jam was “space”.) I was tasked with making the user interface for it and I was told to do it in the style of pixel art. I also worked on the main home menu for when the player starts up the game.
Definitely my most ambitious project. A 3-minute animated short film that took more than a year to produce. I worked on backgrounds, animation, character design, and story. Joey Fisher was my creative director and supervisor. Josh Williams and Sofi Berri were responsible for producing the song cover of “Linger” by the Cranberries. Josh Williams did the instruments, and Sofi Berro did the Vocals. The short film was released onto my YouTube channel “ZephyrLeaf”.
