Live Action – Stop Motion – Animação
Alois Di Leo - Diretor
Nos últimos 15 anos, trabalhei em animação 2D e 3D, stop motion e live action—sempre buscando a técnica certa para cada ideia. Meu foco está em criar trabalhos visualmente impactantes e emocionalmente verdadeiros, seja para um comercial de 30 segundos ou um longa-metragem.
Recentemente co-dirigi “A Arca de Noé” com Sérgio Machado, um musical animado inspirado em Vinicius de Moraes que ultrapassou 340 mil ingressos e foi vendido para mais de 70 países. Também dirigi “Caminho dos Gigantes,” que passou por mais de 150 festivais, ganhou 26 prêmios, e se qualificou para o Oscar no Chicago Children’s Film Festival.
Meu trabalho já foi destaque em Vimeo Staff Picks, Cannes, Annecy , Short of the Week, entre outros.
Estou sempre procurando novos desafios—especialmente em comerciais e videoclipes onde posso explorar narrativas visuais ousadas e experimentar com diferentes técnicas de animação e fotografia.
Live Action – Stop Motion – Animação
Alois Di Leo - Director
Based in São Paulo / Available Worldwide
Over the past 15 years, I’ve worked across 2D and 3D animation, stop motion, and live action—always searching for the right technique for each idea. My focus is creating visually striking work that feels emotionally true, whether it’s a 30-second commercial or a feature film.
I recently co-directed “Noah’s Ark” with Sérgio Machado, an animated musical inspired by Vinicius de Moraes that sold over 340,000 tickets and was acquired by 70+ territories worldwide. I also directed “Way of Giants,” which screened at 150+ festivals, won 26 awards, and qualified for the Oscar at the Chicago Children’s Film Festival.
My work has been featured on Vimeo Staff Picks, Cannes, Annecy, Short of the Week, and others.
I’m always looking for new challenges—especially in commercials and music videos where I can explore bold visual narratives and experiment with different animation techniques and cinematography.
