PROFILE
OLO creative farm was born January 2005, thanks to Mattia Amadori, Andrea Corti and Max de Ponti, in the attic of a building in the centre of Como.
Until then, what would have one day housed the studio, was nothing but a closet.
During renovations, a big terracotta dwarf popped up among several objects.
And that dwarf inspired the name of the studio, “OLO”, the ending of the seven dwarfs’ Italian names, characters of the brothers Grimm’s fairy tale, Snow White (Italian names of the seven dwarfs are Brontolo, Cucciolo, Eolo, Gongolo, Mammolo, Pisolo, Dotto).
OLO creative farm’s aim is to test audiovisual and graphic techniques and representations through the creative synergy between the three communication designers.
From video clips to documentaries, from commercials to business videos, from brochures to websites, OLO creative farm carries out all kinds of projects related to visual communication.
As interactivity plays a leading role in experimentation, OLO does its best to find out new ways of bringing technology closer to people. The strong inclination towards cinematographic art, pushes the studio to conceive and realize scripts, and create short and full length movies. |
