LampianuĀ es elĀ  primer corte promocional del disco Viaje Oscuro de Patricio Alvarado, cuyo videoclip dirigĆ­ y animĆ© entre diciembre de 2019 y agosto de 2020. EstĆ” realizado en la tĆ©cnica de rotoscopĆ­a (trazado sobre footage), aunque tambiĆ©n podemos ver elementos de animaciĆ³n tradicional y maquetado 3D.Ā 

Lampianu is the first music video for the album Viaje Oscuro by Patricio Alvarado, which I directed and animatedĀ between December 2019 and August 2020. It's made mainly in the rotoscoping technique (tracing over footage), although we can also see some traditional cell animation elements and 3D.
Para la rotoscopĆ­a elegĆ­ trabajar con lĆ­neas vectoriales y una paleta reducida de colores plenos. Los fondos fueron trabajados en capas, y a la composiciĆ³n final se le agregĆ³ textura de papel y grano de pelĆ­cula para contrarrestar el acabado "pulido" del vector.

For the rotoscoping I chose to work with vectorial line art and a reduced palette of full colors. The backgrounds were constructed in layers, and the final composition was treated with paper texture and film grain to compensate for the "polished" vectorial finishing.Ā 
Los planos del naufragio fueron filmados en Bali, Indonesia. Los paisajes de ValparaĆ­so estĆ”n inspirados en fotografĆ­as del lugar que tomĆ© durante un viaje en el 2018, y el resto de las escenas que Patricio comparte con su co-protagonista se filmaron en el Departamento de AnimaciĆ³n de la Universidad del Cine en Buenos Aires, Argentina.Ā 

The cast-away shots were filmed in Bali, Indonesia. The ValparaĆ­so landscapes are inspired in photographies I took on a trip in 2018 and the rest of the scenes that Patricio shares with his co-star were shot in the Animation Department of the Universidad del Cine, in Buenos Aires, Argentina.Ā 
El videoclip fue realizado gracias al Fondo de Fomento de las Artes de Chile (2018), y desde su lanzamiento en 2020 ha sido seleccionado en mĆŗltiples festivales.Ā En diciembre recibiĆ³Ā su primer menciĆ³n especial a Mejor AnimaciĆ³n en el In-Edit Chile.Ā 

The music video was a possibility thanks to a Chilean Arts Fund (2018) and since its release in 2020 it's been selected in multiple festivals. In December 2002 it got its first special mention in theĀ In-Edit Chile (Best Animation).Ā 
MĆ”s de 20 personas trabajaron para hacer realidad este proyecto. En mi caso particular, ademĆ”s de la direcciĆ³n tambiĆ©n co-escribĆ­ el guion junto al mĆŗsico Patricio Alvarado, realicĆ© una gran cantidad de planos en rotoscopĆ­a y todas las animaciones cuadro a cuadro. TambiĆ©n realicĆ© la composiciĆ³n y el render final.Ā 
Se tratĆ³ de un proyecto de cierta ambiciĆ³n realizado con espĆ­ritu artesanal.

More than 20 people worked to make this project a reality. In my particular case, besides directing I also co-wrote the screenplay alongside the musician Patricio Alvarado,Ā  and I animated a substancial portion of the rotoscoping shots and all of the traditionally animated ones. I was also in charge of the composition and final rendering.Ā 
It was a fairly ambitious project crafted with artisan spirit.Ā
