With her creative lab <a href=\"ttps:\/\/www.circle-ent.com\/\">Circle Entertainment,<\/a> she produces stop-motion animated short films. While working as an advertising copywriter and creative director, Francesca Nobili felt that she didn\u2018t have much control of her creativity. Therefore, she decided to buy a camera and learn how to use Final Cut Pro. At first, she started making short projects to promote her client\u2019s work. But then, she reveals, \u201eI had this enlightenment: I don\u2018t need anyone with stop-motion-animation.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>She already had lots of material. Instead of buying the perfect prop, she just started looking around to see what she had on hand to create props, characters, and puppets. \u201eBefore I trash anything, I check to see if there\u2018s something about it that gives me an idea for what I\u2018m trying to create. Being organized is important. I just collect!\u201c That means even plastic packaging for dental floss. \u201cThey can be wheels or cups!\u201d Her Los Angeles apartment is full of storage boxes with found materials.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-6617\" src=\"http:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Set-of-A-Tale-of-a-Sassy-Little-Girl-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Set-of-A-Tale-of-a-Sassy-Little-Girl-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Set-of-A-Tale-of-a-Sassy-Little-Girl-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Set-of-A-Tale-of-a-Sassy-Little-Girl-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Set-of-A-Tale-of-a-Sassy-Little-Girl.jpg 532w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>She has been producing animated short films for nearly a decade. Her short film<em> A Tale of a Sassy Little Girl<\/em> won more than a dozen awards. Her approach is to find materials so that she can turn \u201esomething into something else\u201c. When she created an animated rat, she made the body from an ear-plug, and she used twist ties for the tail. She has plenty in her kitchen, because she gets them every time when she goes food shopping. \u201eIt\u2018s all about being organized. The moment you have an idea, you want to find that piece immediately.\u201c In these situations, she just goes through her storage boxes and eventually she finds a piece that she has forgotten about that inspires her.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6619 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Set-of-Guacamole.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"285\" height=\"284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Set-of-Guacamole.jpg 205w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Set-of-Guacamole-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Set-of-Guacamole-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 285px) 100vw, 285px\" \/>For the animated films that she presents on her Circle Entertainment, LLC, platform, she developed her own shooting technique. \u201eIt\u2018s freedom. It\u2018s magic. I don\u2019t have any rules!\u201c She loves to experiment with new materials. \u201eI started animating foodstuffs, which was really fun. Then I tried clay.\u201c Now she is preoccupied with wood and fabrics, because it is real. It\u2018s not a drawing, and it\u2018s not CGI. \u201eEven my special effects are what-you-see-is-what-you-get.\u201c She combines stop-motion animation with live-action animation, which is helpful for certain special effects. For a horror music video, for instance, she burned a piece of the set so that there were real live-action flames.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6618 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Guacamole.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"436\" height=\"238\" \/>Everyday life inspires her even when she\u2018s walking her dog. \u201eIf I see something on the ground that inspires me, I pick it up.\u201c Francesca Nobili treats this as an exercise, because \u201ewe aren\u2018t used to thinking this way.\u201c When she needs something that she can\u2019t buy, she tries to find a work-around. \u201eIt is a fun process. Anything can be animated. Like I did with food.\u201c While she was working on her stop-motion animated short film <em>Guacamole<\/em>, she spent hours in the supermarket searching for the perfect tomato. People were looking at her suspiciously, so she simply replied: \u201eDon\u2018t look at me. I\u2018m just looking for a tomato I can animate.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5pRMUoMJcXA?si=TAruSNFkJuspHVUM\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe>\n<p>And of course, the most eco-friendly approach is to reuse materials for props and puppets. It\u2019s embedded in Francesca Nobili\u2018s DNA. And her approach inspires other artists. \u201eCreativity is all about sharing! We need a platform where we can share techniques and materials\u201c emphasizes the filmmaker. Furthermore, it is helpful to produce short clips that demonstrate a special technique. \u201eKnowing these little tricks can trigger a chain reaction. It is all about passion and inspiring one another.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Photos: \u00a9 Jess Ferrara\/Francesca Nobili<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Francesca Nobili, a senior creative for advertising agencies and production companies in Europe and the USA, is an award-winning stop-motion animation filmmaker.
