Finally I landed at Framestore, Los Angeles where I’m currently working as Lead FX-TD on various VR projects and commercials. FX-TD, again based in LA and with a focus on TV Series and Commercials.

Later I worked for a couple of years as freelance Sr. In the past few years I’ve worked in DreamWorks Animation for Shrek Forever After, Puss’n Boots, The Rise of the Guardians, Turbo and Kung Fu Panda 2. It took me a few years to understand that what I really wanted to do as a grown up was FX! The combination of Coding + Math + Physics + Visuals + 3D turned out to be my perfect match. My career started as character animator for a small game company in Italy, using 3D Studio. I probably shouldn’t be so proud of it, but … it’s the truth!

From that moment and for the following 34 years I’ve never been able to stay away from a computer for more than a week. Of course I had no idea about personal computers, but only a couple of years later my parents gave me the best gift ever: a brand new Commodore 64. My love for computer generated images started the day I watched the movie “Tron” around 1982.
