The Hunt - From Concept Artist to Filmmaker
Creating and managing a major short film production with no borders and - virtually - no budget.
The Hunt is an upcoming short film developed by Diogo Costa. With very humble beginnings, Diogo developed the principles of "Guerilla Animation" to allow him to create an independent film production that aims to compete with the offers from major animation studios, but with a fraction of the budget. Throughout the past year, Diogo assembled a team of 45+ artists - borrowing some of the best talent in the industry from shows like Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Arcane, and Love, Death, and Robots, to create a unique film - and a unique way of doing animation. The film is now in the final stages of production and is backed, among others, by Oscar-nominated production cooperative Cola Animation. The film is expected to be released in major film festivals in 2024. In this talk, Diogo aims to share the process (and thinking) behind "The Hunt" and "Guerrilla Animation" and hopefully, inspire you to make your dreams a reality as well.

Awesome stuff!
Diogo, does this mean filmmaking isn’t just based on camera work only, because after reviewing your portfolio, I’m beginning to believe filmmaking is broader than I thought it was,because there’s an incredible incorporation of illustrations and what,I am an aspiring filmmaker, recently started having interests in film ,but also has interests in 3D modeling and product design, does this mean I can combine everything?

Thanks Hameeda! Film is by definition the "art of the moving image" - as long as you're creating images that move (or that are in sequence) you can do whatever you want. :)
For my film I'm combining a lot of animation and live action techniques. :) I'd say you can (and should) do whatever if you want.
