Direction

“Stopping advertising to save money is like stopping the clock to save time.”

Henry Ford

 

video direction

Regista Director Elia Cristofoli

Twenty years ago, the profession of videomaker didn't exist. If you needed a video, either you had it done by professionals, or you didn't do it at all. That was my school, straddling the line between tradition and the new digital technologies that were gradually asserting themselves, and that continue to evolve...

Each video involves pre-production, shooting, and post-production. Occasionally, I may delegate the organizational aspect to a production company, allowing me to focus on creativity and artistic direction, to the benefit of the project and the client.

Advertising is the soul of Market

To convey a message in a few seconds, you need a great idea first, capable of sticking in the viewer's mind and persuading them, without ever lying.

I believe that a commercial should almost always, not necessarily make people burst into laughter, but at least bring a smile. Because positive emotions are the foundation of every advertisement

The music you listen to with your eyes

The music video, commonly known as a 'videoclip,' is to the musician what the commercial is to the company. Shooting a commercial or a music video, in fact, isn't all that different. The dynamics are the same. Creativity might differ, of course, but creativity always changes.

I grew up in the music industry and have directed over fifty music videos. So, dear musicians, step forward: let's bring your songs to life.

Grafical - Brand Film

Grafical - Brand Film

Grafical nasce nel 1982 nel cuore della Valpolicella, dove opera da oltre 30 anni nel settore gra co, coniugando tradizione e innovazione per creare un prodotto di eccellente qualità. L’iniziativa parte da Andrea Lonardi, che dopo aver acquisito esperienza e competenze lavorando per diversi anni nel settore decide di mettersi in gioco fondando una propria realtà aziendale. Grafical si è successivamente trasformata e sviluppata grazie all’entrata degli altri fratelli, Flavio, Mario ed Elio ad oggi conta ben 80 collaboratori tra cui 35 nel reparto prestampa e amministrativo e gli altri 45 nella sala stampa. L’azienda è cresciuta gradualmente ed ha sempre registrato un trend positivo per quanto riguarda il fatturato continuamente in crescita. I macchinari utilizzati sono tutti d’ultima generazione e permettono di lavorare con le tecniche più esclusive e con materiali selezionati. Oltre al rinomato reparto stampa con un team di capaci collaboratori, uno studio gra co interno propone idee e prototipi. Il lavoro viene seguito in ogni sua fase dall’ideazione alla stampa fino alla distribuzione, per garantire un servizio completo e altamente professionale in grado di garantire la qualità che contraddistingue l’azienda. Il successo di Grafical è, infatti, derivato in buona parte dai punti di forza su cui fa leva da sempre: ottima qualità dei prodotti e brevi tempi di creazione ed evasione degli ordini. Nel 2015 l’azienda si è inoltre aggiunta al “Club delle Eccellenze” del mondo della stampa grazie al riconoscimento come “Best Technology Innovator” durante la consegna degli Oscar della stampa (Premio Vedovella).
