Fabio Biondo is a Brazilian cat I friended on Facebook about a year or so ago. He had expressed his passion for animation and really dug what the Museum of UnCut Funk was doing with it’s collection. After some communication Fabio presented his art to the museum and I thought it would really be kool to highlight his work on our site.

What I was most impressed with is that Fabio is a true animator.  He has painstakingly hand drawn frame to frame to create his character. As any animator will tell you, this type of animation is a lost art form. Animation created today is all computer generated.

Fabio’s  work is called Mano Cinderelo (Cinderella Brother), an animated character who has a love for The Jackson Five is transformed into a version of a dancing Michael Jackson. Please enjoy Fabio’s character as he takes use through his journey of drawing on paper and the final painted version on celluloid.

Animation Essay:

Project completion for animation classes given on “Cinemateca de Curitiba” (Cinematheque of Curitiba) and my first animated short. Photographed in celluloid at the Cinematheque in the year of 1998 and restored to HD Digital video in 2010. Produced in acetate with traditional techniques.

    I am a huge fan of Biondo’s work, we have worked together in numerous projects and he has always exceeded my expectations as an animator, graphic designer, illustrator and creator. I am very happy that Biondo’s work has been chosen to represent also Brazil at the Museum of UnCut Funk, congrats!!! Well deserved 🙂
