Claudio Napolitano Presents "Misused Objects" for National Child Abuse Month

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month.  We are so proud to present this latest project from Claudio Napolitano. “Misused Objects” shows the children’s P.O.V. on common objects that should be just that, and at the same time how scary they are when used for violence. One out of three child-abuse cases reported in the U.S. involves a common object. We can help stop that. The campaign is a commitment to the prevention of child abuse and neglect by valuing children, strengthening families and educating communities. Thanks to @amigosforkids to @republicahavas for trusting Claudio with this powerful, bilingual campaign in English and Spanish. It is now being promoted on Ads of the World, Roastbrief US, AdLatina, Ads of Brands and Little Black Book USA.

Claudio Napolitano Lights Up “Les Miserables” Promotion for Mexico City

Claudio  Napolitano, the award-winning international master of light and motion, has focused his talents on the official promotion for the “Les Miserables”  production in Mexico City.  The stunning  imagery shot on location in the theater uses a mixture of natural and strobe lighting and has been produced in strict accordance with the play’s London standards. Claudio collaborated closely with the show’s lighting team and worked from the original stage and light design to recreate a fantasy between reality and the world of the play. It’s like looking into a fabulous theatrical dollhouse with the actors on site in every scene getting ready with props and costumes to put on a show.

“There is always a hero in each story”—Claudio is our hero for this one. See more of his unique perspective on all things @claudionapolitano.
