Kurageart, the art of Animation

Kurageart is a small Italian animation company focusing on creating videos using 3d animation unconventional techniques , such as NPR algorithms ( Not Photo-realistic Rendering) , manipulating shaders, and playing with lights to archive various stylistic results, based on the content of the product realized.

Behind Kurageart , there is mainly the figure of Claudio Castelli , in addition of several other people, that are involved, or they propose themselves to have a part on the works, such as music, programming, sometimes for collaborating in realizing 3d models, or creating custom net art experiences ( You’re welcome to propose Yourself, of course).

Our main goal, is to keep producing our “animated artworks” , and collaborating with agencies , advertisement companies, music bands, theatrical – musical groups to help them realizing their vision, their animated advert, their video clip, their show digital animated scenography, as long they can like what they see on this site, and they would like to use our animated art for their goals.

We also produce projective set design for meetings, conferences, exhibitions and theatrical performances.

Kurageart.com is just a very “compact” english version of Kurageart.eu, written mainly in Italian, and automatically translated to several languages..

So, for artistic references (mostly about Italian Futurism, festivals etc) we recommend you to go there.

If you like what you see in these pages, you’re also VERY welcome to donate, to help us going with our independent projects.. Donators that will donate 100 Euro or more, will receive a Dvd containing all our best works (included in the donation), and one digital paint from our movies or our galleries printed on rigid  pvc signed by the author (if you’re available to pay for shipment) , or, if you wanna save the money of shipping, the high res version of any picture contained on the site kurageart.com and kurageart.eu (licensed only for realizing a personal print, for private use).

If you wanna utilize the works already done in live events, festival, or for commercial purpose, please contact me before..
