Artists working on Volume 2 - 03 - 27 - 2008

LOI's staff is growing, and a new roman "detachment" has been activated and began to produce models we will see in the prologue of Volume 2.

The innovation regarding what has been done so far will include the use of real models, both miniatures and 1:1, enabling us to convey a realism impossible to achieve only with 3D.

This will be carried out by Tommaso Ragnisco (foto), artistic director of this Volume. Tommaso will coordinate his work with the director and scriptwriter Angelo Licata, the producer and visual effects coordinator Pierfilippo Siena, concept artist Alessio Nocerino, and all the matte painting artists and 3D modelers, to define and design the visual rendering of scenographic elements in the film.

Tommaso was born in Rome, completed the Industrial Design program in I.S.I.A. also in Rome, in 1995, and the same year joined Cristina Croce to found the '21st Century Design' studio, now known as 21lab ( www.21lab.net ), in association with Alessandro Spalletta, Maurizio De Vincentiis and Marco Flore.

Angelo Licata, a few words on DR 2 - 02 - 18 - 2008

A few words from director Angelo Licata about Volume 2.

Greetings everyone. I address the supporters, associate producers, fans, who are collaborating, who will collaborate and who wish to support us but still don't know how...

 
When towards the end of the first Volume I was asked what was Volume 2 going to be like, I did not answer. The effort that Davide and I had employed for this enterprise, without obviously forgetting the arduous task performed by Gianni Melito and Riccardo Gallino, was so huge that the accomplishment of Volume 2 seemed like an enterprise beyond our capabilities.

When I told the second part to Davide, who rarely expresses his opinions in an elated manner, he surprised with his reply: It's really cool!
But it's a huge amount of work! he wisely continued afterwards. I have been reflecting over a long period on the possibility of continuing this "game", because after all, since it is not for profit, that's what it is, a game; but the ones who convinced me to continue were not the actors, nor my best friends or those who have helped us with so much effort through these years. The ones who convinced me were actually the fans, all of you.

With the daily emails (I spend approximately 5 days to answer and catch up with them), the comments on the forum, some people have even created an area where they are already making conjectures on the plot, the comments in English about the film at Vuze, where the film has been downloaded nearly 200,000 times! In short, the desire to continue this story and to complete the work has surpassed any sort of difficulty, and we already got our hands on the job!

I can now finally reply to many of your questions: Volume 2 will be more spectacular, more "dark", with more action, and I believe it will answer to all questions that were intentionally intertwined in a cryptic way during the first episode. There are multiple explanations but they will all make sense at the end and the circle, we hope ;), will be complete.

Thanks to the supporters, Associate Producers, and all those who visit our site to catch up with the news every day. You are more than 30.000 per month and this is indeed incredible!

May the Force be with us, we have a difficult mission ahead!
