In 2008, Panzieri earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Film Science from the International Academy of Image Arts (Italian: Accademia Internazionale Per Le Arti & Le Scienze Dell'Immagine) in L'Aquila, Italy. He then enrolled in a one-year 3D-animation & visual effects conservatory program at the New York Film Academy in New York City, NY.[2]

Career

[edit]

In 2009, Panzieri was hired to work at the visual effects boutique Flash Film Works in Hollywood, California; under the guidance of the studio's owner, William Mesa,[3] Panzieri started his career as Rotoscope / Paint artist on the live-action web series The Blood Factory, a gory episodic created by screenwriter John Albo and actor/director Danny DeVito.[3] His second assignment was on the 2010 feature film Clash of the Titans, a remake of the original 1981 version.

Since then, Panzieri has worked on films such as Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens,[3][4] Spider-Man: Homecoming,[5][6][7] Thor: Ragnarok,[8] Avengers: Infinity War[9][10] and Spider-Man: Far From Home.[9][11][12]

In October 2019, Panzieri joined the Netflix production Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey as in-house compositing supervisor.[13] He also worked for Netflix on Red Notice as lead compositor.[14]

In 2021, Panzieri was hired by the visual effects company Wylie Co. to work on the Warner Bros. production Dune.[15]

From 2022 to 2023, Panzieri was hired by Lucasfilm to work on the production Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny as in-house compositing supervisor.[16] In 2023, he reprised the same role on the Warner Bros. production Joker: Folie à Deux.
