Around the World – Fortunato Depero

2, Luglio, 2009

I realized this video as a multimedial features of a stage performance of the theater company “La corte dei Miracoli“. The performance included lectures of futuristic plays by different authors and the prizegiving to winning competitors in a poetical competition about futurism.

The concept behind the video come to me while watching the  video of the popular dance song “Around the World” by Daft Punk. I thought that combining the paintings and advertisements by futuristc artist Fortunato Depero with this song could be a effective and nice way to explain a little bit of the artist to today people rather that making a boring video with pictures fading staticly into one another.

The video has been projected during the performance on the 18th of June 2009 in the Teatro Civico in Sassari.

Disclaimer: obviously neither the music (Daft Punk) nor the pictures (Fortunato Depero) are mine.

Falesie

16, Dicembre, 2008

I realized this video as a digital presentation for a book of photos, Falesie,  published by Bruno Manunza. The book shows views of Sadinia’s costline, capturing very fascinating landscapes, but I was asked to create a video that went in the opposite direction: so all about the distruction of the seaside operated by the men, showing just from time to time the autors photos as a reminder of “what we have”.

The idea I had about how to connect so many picture about such a subject ( which is also deeply rooted in Sardinians thinking) was to “observe” them as if we were a kind of alien/digital “thing” that explores our world through the picture he collected.

City Soup – Qoob Commissioning

4, Novembre, 2008

Qoob, an italian tv channel connected to mtv, proclaimed, in association with Volkswagen, a video contest about the new Volkswagen Scirocco, the latest car builded by the german firm.

The commissionig’s theme was the slogan “Be Good”, a statement used by VW itself to advertise the car. So the aim of the video should have been to express this idea and combine it with the concept of the sportive and flexible car. There was no restriction about tecquinques, only it was not possible to use copyrighted images or music.

Me and my friend Elisabetta Spissu, who too studies in Alghero, just dash toword it and start working. the idea that convinced us the most was that of picturing, through animation, the bad actions of an “evil” car and then have the new Scirocco show itself just at the end and stand out as better.

We concentreded also on the graphic image we liked best and decided for a semi-surrealistic city, made of coloured lines and deformed skyscrapers.

Finally we used a compleatly original music made by friends for leasure.
