Argentinean animator Leo Campasso’s “Wild Wind” is a neat animated throwback to the pixelated 8-bit goodness of the 80’s.

Channel Frederator: Where did you study animation?

Leo Campasso: I studied animation in Argentina at the “Image Campus” Institute. I graduated this year.

CF: What gave you the idea for this film?

LC: One of these moments in the daily routine, my hair - it’s too bad!!!

CF: What drew you to the 8-bit style?

LC: Always loved that era, and I wanted to animate pixels in a traditional way.

CF: What are you working on next?

LC: I’m working on a video clip for “Viajeros”, a rock band from Argentina. This time, I´m trying to surprise with the style. I have the storyboard, animatic, designs, models in 3D, and I’m in the rigging stage.

CF: Any big plans for the holidays?

LC: Yes! relax with my friends in the Argentinean coast. This year I’ve worked too hard!

CF: Ever have a bad hair day?

LC: Yes! of course! It’s my karma.
