About

Deadcat is the brainchild of Nicola Smanio, a once young kitten from Verona that moved to Stockholm a long time ago to become a full grown feline.
After twenty years of experience in the advertising and visual communication business, and more than a decade directing and producing animation for international clients, the time is now ripe for new endeavours.

Deadcat thrives in a habitat of humour and action, feeds on witty references to popular culture. The result is explosive, handmade eye candy. With a long experience in stop motion, cel animation, graphics and compositing, Deadcat loves to spend its time crafting and polishing each detail by hand, nonetheless using its geeky mind and the latest technology to bring it all together in the most efficient, astonishing-looking way.

With a long list of trusted collaborators, artists and geeks on its side, with its claws sharpened year after year by an all-encompassing set of skills, the Deadcat is ready to rise from the dead.
