I discovered the world of animated imagery through motion design, which helped me develop skills in animation using After Effects, as well as in compositing and editing. This path naturally led me to traditional 2D animation, opening the door to more ambitious and emotionally rich projects.
Over time, I’ve had the chance to work on animated musical clips for TED, title sequences for series and films, and commercial spots using motion design. Animation has become my way of expressing artistic intentions with subtlety and emotion.

The sequence opens in a dreamy, retro-futuristic sky where sleek aircrafts glide past floating neon signs and holographic instruments. With bold, punchy colors and smooth transitions, the animation mixes vintage aviation aesthetics with pulsing music visuals—equalizers embedded in clouds, vinyl records spinning midair, and glowing trails of light dancing to the beat. Festival names emerge from swirling jet streams and dissolve into the atmosphere. As the beat builds, a massive airborne stage appears, and the Flying Club logo rises into view, illuminated like a beacon above an electrified crowd, closing the sequence with lift-off energy. video advert animator videoeditor

I created a fan animation featuring Noodle, the iconic character from Gorillaz, handling all aspects of the project—from concept and design to animation and compositing. Inspired by the band's unique aesthetic, I aimed to capture Noodle’s energy and attitude through dynamic movement and expressive visuals, paying tribute to the original spirit of Gorillaz while adding my own creative touch. video filmdirector animator
