Neomorphus Making Of

A fascinating look behind the scenes of the excellent stop motion short 'Neomorphus' by Animatorio... "Strangeness and fragility: Perceptions that we take from the animated short Neomorphus. Somewhat macabre beings live in a habitat of particular nature - a place abandoned long ago. Here, in this unusual spot, they follow the circuit of their lives - being born, developing, decomposing and recomposing. Implemented in stop-motion, the main idea of this short was based on the various processes of a metamorphosis - the transformation and the reactions it propagates. Thus, the scenario received special treatment, as it moves and reacts according to the characters' actions. From this point of view, the space also became a character. The greatest difficulty was animating the creatures - each one was made by hand - and because they had insect’s characteristics, they were extremely fragile and required careful handling. The camera also played an important role in the film, since it is its point of view that runs through the scenarios - for this, a "robot" camera photographed each motion scheduled graph. Once the images were captured, the film received retouching and digital processing. Refinishing is a very important detail on stop-motion as it cleans the scenes digitally frame by frame. In this process, materials used to “hold” the characters in place- such as lines, wires and adhesives - are removed. Then 'styles' were added in the film, such as shadows, filters and special effects – they are essential to generate the scenes ambiance. At last, the sound effects and beautiful track composed exclusively for the short film were added. The end result is a richly detailed animation that unfolds in a sequence of great and unexpected events."

Gabriel Nobrega

A very talented guy, and it just so happens to be his birthday today. This video is in Portuguese, and if you do not happen to understand Portuguese, it tells the story of how he started working with animation when he was 11 years old, out of a corner of his bedroom, and now has gone on to win prestigious international awards with his animation work.

OPD had the pleasure of meeting Gabriel back in 2009, when Marcelo, João, Guto and Gabriel came together as DOOMEDO, and helped Nomad Ink realize GOT MERZ, together with Hugo Werner and Positivo University. Hey Gabriel, This one is for you man! And if you are a person on the other end of cyberspace reading this, remember! Focus on your true goal/passion, and with time and perseverance, you will (probably) get to where you want to be.
