drawing today in the team of Tim Burton
PALERMO - Some people dream of doing as a child astronaut and now has a fear of flying, who wanted to wear tutus and shoes and now wears the toga. She, however, that haunted by the silhouettes of Disney characters simply dreamed of one day to know the creators of the Little Mermaid and heroes like Roger Rabbit, today, a talented cartoonist and animator 2D (but also a folk musician), even sitting in the same team of those legendary artists. Valentina Ventimiglia, Palermo young artist, he realized early in life that would have drawn cartoons: "In the beginning I tried to involve my parents in the business. But neither the doodles of ladies of my mother and even the cowboy and Indian father, could satisfy me. In 4 years I decided that I would continue on its own. Copy the covers of notebooks, and all the books of Disney had the grooves in the pages depicting the Little Mermaid, because tracing over the TV, "pause" on VHS, never worked right. "
CAREER - Today, after a degree in traditional animation in Turin, un'Internship in the London headquarters of the Cartoon Network, and collaborations with various international animation studios, his name appears as a storyboard assistant, in the "crew list »Production of "Frankenweenie", a brand new stop-motion feature film by Disney, directed by Tim Burton, to be released in theaters in 2012. Yet, Valentina dream of returning to Sicily, "I have hoped more than once to work in my town, but in Italy, unfortunately, lacks confidence in young talent, as well as due consideration to an art form that provides for a very long time of creation . Many of us know, in broad terms, an animation consists of a sequence of drawings, but few imagine that, for every single minute animated, you can use up to 3 months of work. In Italy my profession is still highly underpaid, it becomes impossible to support themselves. "
THE NEW PROJECT OF BURTON - After the Alice in Wonderland (2010), Burton signed the final draft-Disney, is a remake of one of the first U.S. director of that short, Frankenweenie (1984), conceived as a parody of the two films James Whale, Frankenstein (1931) and Bride of Frankenstein (1935), based on the subject of Mary Shelley.

"Although more than a year a tireless team of storyboard artists, modelers, painters, stage designers, technicians and producers are working to feature films, we are still only half done, "says Valentina," At this moment we are developing the "storyboard" of each key stage film production, which could be described as a huge balloon that displays the whole story, scene by scene. My role as assistant, is to give a hand with the fixes, redesign the characters, substitute, change the shot or scene, but every so often get the opportunity to design small sequences in full, and there are no words to describe emotion, then imagine the result on the big screen. " And, when the headquarters of the production studio, in what is called a "storyboard department," the script is translated into visual material, are called the shots and film the way the characters interact with each other, at " Puppet Hospital (ed Puppet House), a tireless group of modellers and designers is working to build the environments and characters that, shortly after, the "set", finally take their own life, to enchant and captivate millions of children around the world.
