In the last year of "Worms" the production rush at Animaking couldn’t be bigger. Our teams are hot and sweaty due to working hard under the summer hot sun of Floripa. In the studios the situation is not different despite of the air conditioning. So, in order to carry on the demand for 80 minutes of film a new animator has just joined the team: the newest acquisition is Thiago Calçado, an old friend of our producer, who has already worked in lots of other projects in 2D and 3D animation.
Majored in cinema by FAAP, the “mineiro” from Uberaba started with animation in 2000. Since then he has worked at a number of well-known producers in São Paulo as well as in advertising and short films for festivals. Last year he moved to Floripa to work in some projects at Animaking. The invitation to join the feature film team came this year. Thiago says he always wanted to participate in "Worms" and thinks that after working with Jr, Linda and Neco it will be difficult to return to his computer. He is sure our earthworms will make a lot of noise when they get to the “big screen”.
