Since 2014, he has dedicated himself entirely to producing music videos using stop-motion paper animation, a handmade technique that marked his early works back in 1997. He collaborates with major international record labels, directing official videos for artists including Eminem, Pink Floyd, Motörhead, Robbie Williams, Amy Lee, Lindsey Stirling, Purple Disco Machine, and many others.
His first feature-length narrative work, Spacetime Chronicles, expands this unique handcrafted style into a surreal and visionary cinematic journey.
