Dark Resurrection Crew: Mirco Paolini

1- How did you join the team of DR?

It all started in the "late" 2006, when a brave budding filmmaker, whose name was Angelo Licata, sent me an e-mail asking for the creation of an organic creature for Dark Resurrection Vol 1. At that time, I had just started getting into the magical 3D world and Angelo was very impressed by my first animation of a Digital Troll walking down a street. From that moment on, it started a brand- new cooperation between us. Unfortunately for a few years it stopped. However, I definitely managed to make up for it when in September 2010 I asked Angelo to help him for Vol. 0.

2- Can you tell us your role within the production?

I deal with everything related to the 3D world, under every point of view: from modelling to animating, texturing and rigging. I created many of the scenes you will watch in the film, some of them are 100% digital, like for instance those huge fantastic settings among which one of my greatest efforts, a huge portal. In this regard, special thanks go to the other 3D artists who have provided me with some models, to the Matte Painters, a huge source of inspiration as well as to the model creators, who realized magnificent base models, helping me get better textures. Without their cooperation my work would have been much harder.
