As promised, here it is!! At last, online!
"Verne on vacation" is a short I've been animating with Alfredo Cassano and Sylvain Marc for Cartoon Network in 2009.
It was made in 3 months and won the Pulcinella award for best tv pilot last year. It's currently being considered as a tv feature, which is definitely a great news!
The animation is all made on Flash. Frame by frame traditional approach, good old brush tool.
(...yeah, and is there anything I haven't made using flash lately? :) I swear, I DO have some pencils on my desk!)
These characters were so much fun to animate. Simple shapes allow you to push the posing, play with extreme crazy looking drawings and focus on what you want to communicate.
You know those days when you wake up in the morning and just can't wait to start drawing? That was what happened to me when I worked on this film.
Again, a huge thanks to Sylvain for creating such an exciting project, being a fantastic director and a lovely friend.

Alessandra, è bellisssimo °____° spero di "core" che venga prodotto, questo che ho visto non mi basta :DDD
Tra parentesi se avessi tempo a disposizione, me lo farei volentieri il corso alla CSC con te come insegnante U___U mannaggia.
I love the animation and the designs and color! You're so lucky to have worked on it! :) I hope it gets picked up as a TV feature.
amazing short. love the animation and its such a neat concept
Very VERY cool!Great style !
Your illustrations are fabulous. Would love to work with you at some point. Do you have a rates page?
Il genere di cartone che vorrei i bambini vedessero, i colori bellissimi...personaggi assolutamente originali....meraviglia
Could you show how you animated in Flash? A work-in-progress video would be intrigueing to look at!
Che stile incredibile... Arrivo qui dal blog di Andrea Castellani, che implicitamente ringrazio per il link. :)
D'ora in avanti terrò un faro puntato verso questi lidi.
Gosh, that is so much fun. I like the hand-held motions and focusing!
Es realmente maravilloso, hermoso, los colores divinos.
Ciao Alessandra,
mi sono letteralmente innamorata dei tuoi lavori..ho visto il tuo sito e credo che sia fatto molto bene. Semplice e creativo! Ho appena visto "The secret of Kells" e mi è piaciuto moltissimo. Mi sto cimentando nel campo dell'illustrazione e dell'animazione anche grazie all'università che frequento e al gruppo di lavoro che si è venuto a formare (l'anno scorso ho provato il 2D, quest'anno andrò avanti col 3D). Continuerò a seguirti e a seguire le tue splendide creazioni proprio perché per me sei fonte d'ispirazione. :D
Buon lavoro & buona fortuna!
This is great! congratulations!
mamma mia che spettacolo..me li mangerei tutti i tuoi personaggi!!
dovrebbero chiamarti per disegnare il prossimo monster and co!
c'est magnifique! As the French would say. But I have a very very eager question! You say you made it in flash. But which tools did you use?! Especially concerning the lines. Did you just use the standard flash-brushes? (I'm not a great fan of them. I wish it could be possible to import photoshop brushes into flash...)
Hope to hear from you.
I found it very cute and funny, those were the words of my children, I also really like.

friendly greetings!
