Don't Feed These Animals

Don’t Feed These Animals is my first animation film for entertainment, and is a story about friendship in the most unexpected situations! In this case, about a lobotomized rabbit and a living carrot!

After a whole year featuring in festivals all around the globe, winning dozens of awards, it was listed for the 2020 Academy Oscars.

With characters originally created by José Alves da Silva, it was then developed by a creative trio: Me, Guilherme Afonso and José as well. It was directed by myself and Guilherme Afonso.

Along with directing and supervising a bigger team I also had the pleasure to participate in pretty much everything regarding the 3D animation process, from start to finish. A huge endeavour where i’ve spent almost 2 years everyday working on.
