HELP!

Hi Everyone.

This is very much for INDUSTRY related people, you out there.

I´ve been working for a while on an animated personal short film. 

I´m currently looking for 1 modeler, 1 rigger and 2 animators. 

In exchange for your work I´ll trade with big personal original OIL painting.
For some it might sound as a crap trade, but for some it might sound as something interesting to be involved.

If this is something you like, please Contact me privately or spread the word.

Best,

A.

OSCARS_HEROES

I was approached by the Academy to Direct an animation piece for the past OSCARS night to celebrate the HERO in Cinema. Unfortunately, at the very last minute, they decided NOT to do animation and use life action footage instead, but they ended up using my idea. Here is an unfinished clip of what could have been a nice finished animated piece.

Thanks to dear friend Vaughan Ling for that sick Batman's location.

Truly yours,

Alberto Mielgo

8 artist create 8 pieces of art inspired by brilliant Kobe Bryant career and some new NIKE shoe. ( I CANNOT get more commercial )

Come, say hi, and check from life a rare MALE painting I did ( rare on me , I mean ) 

Staples center is BIG, so: near the corner of Figueroa and Chick Hearn. Entrance is immediately next to the Kareem Abdul Jabbar statue.

PHILIPPINES RELIEF

I'm organizing an Art Show about a recent Bicycle trip I did from San Francisco to Los Angeles.  I´m not selling anything there,  I´ll just share the experience , an excuse to get people together . I wouldn't show any of my paintings or art work, I'll show the photos I took on the trip. All proceeds will go to typhoon haiyan relief. 
Provably because I was close to the same ocean , provably also because the news were all about Typhoon Haiyan during those 6 days.

SO, If you are in Los Angeles, come.

I´m  recently scanning some of my oil paintings.

EMMY award

Very Happy as I just recently won an EMMY AWARD. Individual achievement in animation - BEST ART DIRECTION for TRON UPRISING.
This, obviously fills up my ego (quite dramatically)

Growth of the world economy has weakened considerably during 2012 and is expected to remain subdued in the coming two years. The global economy is expected to grow at 2.4 per cent in 2013 and 3.2 per cent in 2014 a significant downgrade from the UN’s forecast of half a year ago. SO I paint a naked Girl. 

ANNIE AWARDS

As many of you already know I won yesterday the ANNIE AWARD for "Best Art Direction in an Animated Television/Broadcast Production" for Tron Uprising. Such an honor and a very BIG deal for me, for a number of reasons. I heard the speech was funny, so I´ll post it as soon as I have it here.

Thanks for all the supporters of the show, thanks for following it and thanks for believing in the project.

You can watch it on i-tunes.

Annie Awards nomination

I´ve been nominated for an Annie Award for "Best Production Design in an Animated Television/Broadcast Production" for Tron Uprising!

A nomination it´s for me a VERY big deal for a number of reasons. I´m very happy and grateful and ego leaks all over. BUT, wait a minute, this wouldn´t be possible without the amazing team that I´ve been lucky to work with.

Thanks ALL for suffering me.

We've been using as much paintings as possibly we could and choose the most graphic treatment for characters andvehicles. Because we love 2D.

We've seen this shot very much on the series .  This is one of my earliest works for Tron.

TRON Uprising COLORSCRIPTS

Colorscripts have been probably the most important part for the look of the project. Here some samples.
