Way of Giants
"Way of Giants" is a 2d "tradigital" animation that I had the chance to participate from the beginning until the end. It was two intense years journey where I had the chance to work mainly on the character design and animation. At the same time having
the chance to do the art direction (together with the director Alois di Leo and Henrique Lobato) and contribute with ideas on
the story development. Watch the full movie bellow and after, some material from development. Enjoy!
