Lee-Roy - yah, what you’re gonna do … I guess we’ll slowly head that way … I do hear it’s pretty amazing … but still …. they should have given the DVD release a little more features.

Man Arenas- ah … nice … cappuccinos … the question is how do you pay for those as the intellectual artist ?

wonderfull picture of the sun set over the Alpes.
…
and I believe Italia been the best place to live in for an artist in europe.
(I was for a while living in Firenze, kind of an intelectual paradise with the scens of perfect made cappuccinos… I loved it

<— My feelings exactly regarding the blueray exclusive features.

LeeRoy- yes indeed, it was rewarding to be back in Italy and show what I do for a living. Glad you liked the animatic. And YES that was a beautiful dawn, the sun gradually hit all the peaks just as we were flying over it. I really really wished I had my canon with me just for that shot.

cK- the italian version is not bad, no famous italian actor but all involved did a good job. The great thing is that over there you a get a 2 dvd version, with 95% of the extras and special features, while in the US most of all that is only available on blueray.

Nathalie- ah great to hear Nathalie! thanks … 3 tree make a forest 2 ? sounds like a good idea … gotta call up Tadahiro and Ronnie.

Caro Enrico, I have (finally) received my copy of Three Trees make a Forest and enjoyed it immensely. I was actually surprised because I thought this collaborative effort was ALSO around a story (possibly because of the evocative title), which it was in a way but not in the sense I was expecting it. A lovely book nevertheless.
Waiting for the next one…

Enrico,

It is great that you were able to go back to your home country to participate in a movie that you were heavily involved with. Cudos to the Studio that and recognizes and rewards its contributors. Based on the “Art of Ratatouille Book”, it looks like you were not only involved in the story boarding but layout design for the art department.

The Italian version must be interesting. An Italian doing a Frenchman.

Sorry to inundate you with comments, but I wanted to add one more thing. That shot of the Alps is amazing!!! I’ve traveled through the Austrian Alps by train and that was spectacular, but I have never seen them from this angle. Nice capture! Also, I have walked in and around the Duomo in Milan, but never seen it from this angle, either. Almost seems like you were on one of those cranes.

^Meant to write “animatic” not “animated.”

Sure sounds like you were busy, but hey, that’s exciting and it must’ve been somewhat rewarding for you to do this in your “home country.” That animated is wonderful. It’s really great to see your boards in action. Thanks for the link!
