Hey good creative film people. I am trying to get a project off the ground and thus I have created an ANIMATIC of the project. I would love to get experienced feedback on it (not technical feedback, since this is only an ANIMATIC). The idea is to get input as spectators on: Does it work? Does it tell a story entirely and understood? and anything that you pros and amateurs could provide as feedback on how to improve the experience of it...

EPISODES: Here is the link to the first of 3 episodes https://youtu.be/tuYosqZy-xU / There are cards at the end of the episode to continue.

MOVIE: This is the link for the 30 min version (short): https://youtu.be/-YZbFURfXHU

Thank you Vilaylat Saen-Yu for this heartfelt review!

"I remember, my first meeting Giuseppe in person was like meeting an old friend I haven't seen for a while. From the first contact, I felt confident about doing my demo with him! He's a true artist you can trust and have fun during the process. I feel very lucky to have met him early in my career! "
