The Diplomacy Project, a brief part of which you can see on this page, is still undergoing optimization. The complete (yet initial) version was presented as my master’s graduation project at the Albertina Academy of Fine Arts in Turin.
It was a dark winter evening—dark because the room had to be dimmed for the video projector to display everything properly, and also because heavy black clouds covered the Turin sky. I was under a lot of stress, but I had the support of my amazing advisor, Gerardo De Pasquale, and Roberto Mastroianni, the incredible director of the New Technologies of Art department. With such great people by my side, the outcome could not have been anything but good. In fact, everything went brilliantly—so well that I received the highest possible grade.
However, I have not uploaded the full version here. Instead, I have provided a private link, accessible only to those with permission, because I am still refining the details. I also do not want to reveal the concept just yet.
One of my biggest challenges is that my laptop is weak, making it extremely difficult to run the project on Blender. However, I hope to increase my income soon so that I can invest in more powerful hardware and complete the project more quickly. My ultimate goal is to screen it at a festival.
I know this might sound overly ambitious, but I love dreaming big. And it’s not just about dreaming—I wake up at 5 AM every day to work on my goals.
What is the Diplomacy Animation About?
If I had to summarize the animation, I would say that it explores how the repetition of tragic news worldwide gradually devalues journalistic integrity, making these reports seem insignificant over time. As its name suggests, the Diplomacy Project has a political theme. Once it is fully completed, I will dedicate a detailed article to it.
I hope to bring you exciting updates on the project’s progress very soon on this page.
