Alessandro G.

Following my father's footsteps, I started editing almost casually, discovering the passion for post production and visual effects as if I was imprinted. After a degree in Art Design, I exploited all contacts to gain access
to the best editing and compositing systems, becoming freelance, demonstrator and beta tester of the best workstations available. I worked and demoed on Quantel Harriet, Quantel HAL, Quantel EDITBOX, Flame, Smoke, Illusion, DS Nitris, Videocube, Stratasphere, Shake, FCP, AE. Starting in 1994 thru 2001 I was involved on some of the best italian postproduction projects made by Chinatown, arguably the best VFX company in Italy at that time. I personally edited and supervised music promos by some of the best italian artists. In 2001 I transferred to California, diving in the magic of Hollywood, as GM and President of Avtoma of Los Angeles, the US branch of a multinational VFX company that developed the artificial intelligence SW used for some of the crowd and battle scenes seen in blockbusters as "Last Samurai" and “Alexander". Back
to Italy in 2003 I founded Proxima Milan, that became one of the most active post-production houses in Italy, acting as president, resident editor and post-production supervisor until 2014. My knowledge span from the advice during brainstorming to better address resources, to the complete editing, from the supervision of a post-
production team to on-set VFX consulting and supervision.
