About Big Head Animation
Big Head Animation is an independent Italian animation studio founded in 2021, focused on 3D computer animation and original CGI entertainment. Its development work targeted youth and adult audiences in European and international markets, combining character animation with original storytelling. The company established creative operations in Rome and Turin, with its registered corporate seat in Piedmont.
The studio’s capabilities covered the animation process from scriptwriting, storyboarding, concept art and character design through modeling, rigging and production. Its production offering included motion capture and prop animation, followed by lighting, rendering, compositing and visual effects. This combination supported both original entertainment development and commissioned audiovisual work.
Entertainment and audiovisual production
Original projects included Dissonantia - The Last Glimmers, an animated mini-series concept and pilot featuring Dustin and GiBi in the world of Castellia. The studio also developed the motion-capture short Civico 1187 / Il caso Trilli, known in English as House 1187 / Trilli Case, and the animated work Ho Volato.
Alongside its entertainment projects, the company organized its activities into internal business units. BigHead Animation handled character animation, CGI development and storytelling. BigHead LIVE focused on immersive visual experiences and digital stage production for live events, while BigHead ADV provided commercial audiovisual and advertising production. BigHead NOW addressed digital entertainment and direct-to-consumer online distribution.
Together, these activities connected the studio’s animation practice with television and streaming development, cinematic shorts, business advertising and live-event visuals.
More about Big Head Animation
Production technology
The studio built its pipeline around Blender for modeling, rigging and rendering, combining optical and inertial motion capture with Noitom Perception Neuron suits and Reallusion software.
People and operating model
The report identifies Giulio Neglia as a director and producer associated with the company and as the director of Ho Volato. It does not establish a current executive appointment. Historical studio accounts describe a multi-ethnic network of freelance artists and animators assembled across production cycles.
Funding and project development
In February 2022, the Italian Ministry of Culture’s Direzione Generale Cinema e Audiovisivo awarded Big Head Animation S.R.L.S. selective production financing for Ho Volato. This was production support rather than an industry award.
The studio also pursued Kickstarter crowdfunding for Dissonantia - The Last Glimmers.
