Hi there.
I’m Giacomo Ganduglia and I’m a Creative Director/Storyboard Artist based in London.
I have a BA (Hons) and MA in Multimedia Arts.
My main focuses are Film making, Design, and Illustration.
As a Visual Artist, I always believed that being a specialist wasn't something for me, I always loved to explore new things, new software, techniques and art styles. I created a solid knowledge of Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, working in both photography and illustration, then Premiere Pro, Final Cut and After Effects, and, lately, Blender. I'm still learning and developing different workflows for different projects, using both 3d, 2d and real-life (video and still). I won't stop learning, and failing and starting again and most of all trying to get the best result having fun in the process. Some refer at people like me as multipotentialite, I just love to think no one ever stops learning, being curious is the key.
Jay

Poole Bay Rotary Club
Freelance Video Editor
In occasion of the charity project "Pirates, Castaways and Codfish" organized by Rotary Poole Bay and supervised by the Production Manager Don Nutt, I was in charge for the editing and filmmaking side of the project. Pirates, Castaways, and Codfish, in fact, is the name of the short-documentary that explores the findings and the research of the organization, relating from 15th to 18th century of Poole's history, aiming to share it with the local community. The result? Pirates, Castaways, and Codfish.
