Hornet Signs Guilherme MarcondesHornet is proud to announce the signing of Guilherme Marcondes, director and animator whose 2006 short film "Tyger" was hailed around the world, winning more than a dozen awards.
The film, his first to be independently produced, is a showcase of Marcondes' versatility, incorporating computer animation, illustration, live action, puppetry and photography.
Based on William Blake's poem "The Tyger," the film unfolds in Sao Paolo, Marcondes' hometown, as a nighttime sequence with a pounding, mystical soundtrack, as a giant tiger roams the city streets.
The mood is menacing and dark, and in a strike of surreal genius, the tiger is puppeteered by real-life human figures shrouded in black masks and clothes.
Neil Gaiman called the short "absolutely beautiful, like something I dreamed as a boy."
One of the original animators at Lobo studio in Brazil, Marcondes helped the company forge itself into the respected animation and design house that it is today.
While there, he completed spots for major clients including Diesel, Panasonic, The Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon.
In 2004, he co-creative directed a short film for Diesel's summer campaign called "Lost Paradise." Though originally intended for in-store displays, the project surpassed Diesel's initial expectations and was later commissioned for TV.
