Special Guests: Making Cartoons, Meeting
with Lastrego and Testa
Both worked as illustrators and writers for children books. Giuvanna was
the hero of their books, mainly intended for infants and preschooler.
She has a small dog and an imaginary friend/dragon that takes her places
and teaches her about the worlds, where they meet characters of famous
traditional stories of Italy.
They both worked a lot with children in general. They go to the school
right in front of the studio and expose their work to the children for
feedback and reactions.
They work on Macromedia Flash to animate their tradiaiontl drawings made
with gouache and wash. Giuvanna is an animation that is 6 minutes per
episode.
Team: they all have a collective direction. All the people working on
the animation work and comment on the script and vice versa. Discussions
take place while in the process of the script, the storyboard, and the
animation.
Their preservation of their work was very particular: they had an overhead
projector screening Testa has she drew directly. Then later, she gave
the drawing to the children and they distributed posters to them and other
promotional items.
