Summary

I'm Simone Giampaolo, an Animation Director from Switzerland with an insatiable appetite for storytelling and animation.

In 2013 I graduated with Distinction from the BA(Hons) Computer Animation Arts course at the National Centre for Computer Animation in Bournemouth (UK).

Throughout my career I've had the chance to work as director, animator and pre-production artist on over ten animated short films, which you'll be able to find on this website. Some of these films have been screened at several international film festivals gaining recognition and also winning some awards.

For the past four years I've been working as a director and CG generalist in the commercial department at Blue-Zoo Animation (based in London, UK) on a multitude of projects for clients such as Cartoon Network, Disney, LEGO, Nickelodeon, Pokemon, Marvel, Lucasfilm and BBC.
