Daniele Bigi

Biography from TheMovieDB

Daniele Bigi is a visual effects supervisor at Industrial Light & Magic. He joined Industrial Light & Magic’s London studio in January 2015 as CG Supervisor on Marvel’s Ant-Man. His credits as CG Supervisor also include Guardians of the Galaxy and Doctor Strange, both at ILM. Daniele later served as Associate Visual Effects Supervisor on Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One, for which he received a Visual Effects Society Award for Outstanding Virtual Cinematography in a Photoreal Project. He has since overseen the visual effects for Marvel’s Eternals and contributed to major titles such as Disney’s Aladdin and Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.  Originally from Lake Como, Italy, Daniele studied Industrial Design in Milan, where he began exploring 3D computer graphics as a tool for automotive design. A lifelong film enthusiast, he discovered a passion for visual effects as a way to merge his artistic sensibility with his technical skills. This led him to pursue a career in the VFX industry, beginning with smaller studios in Italy before moving on to Aardman Animations, where he joined the emerging 3D department. He then held roles at Framestore and MPC.

About the Movie Section

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).

Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.

Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)

While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).

Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.

Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
