11k USD, exposure and a job – this is what Lchumpitaz recently won after participating to the BootB Pitch “TV Spot” signed IP. Coming from Peru, Luis has showed us all that on BootB, talent crosses through every culture and over any border :).

See how he did it!

Already a frequent BootB client, the Italian oil company, partnering the FIGC (Italian Football Federation), came to BootB looking for a TV spot to increase its brand awareness on the occasion of the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa.

Finding the best creativity on BootB, IP has passed on the spot for production to Polline - the Roman agency to whom it had previous contacts. And what better way to take the project to an end if not involving the Creator himself?! We can tell you it was not easy to get a hold on Luis last week. Now part of the Polline team he was working hard on giving the last finishings to the 3D video spot - already ON AIR on RAI, SKY and MEDIASET!

Now let us introduce you to “el Chumpitaz“” :P

BootB: Luis Chumpitaz in a nutshell
Lchumpitaz: 29 years old Peruvian graphic designer passionate about 3D animation. I’ve completed my studies in Peru and Argentina and I am currently living in Rome, Italy. Thanks to BootB and IP I am now working for Polline – the Roman agency producing the World Cup 2010 IP Gruppo api TV spot.

How come you decided to leave Peru and why did you pick Italy among other destinations?
The decision to leave Peru for Italy was taken mainly because most of my family is rooted here. Before moving to Rome I had spent a couple of years in Argentina studying film making and 3D animation.



What do you miss the most from Peru?
The food and the life style. I find the Italian rhythm of life more agitated – back home is calm and peaceful, or at least this is how I conceive it. I miss going out with my friends as well.

How’s the creative environment in your country?
Colorful:) I want to stress that Peruvians are very creative in elaborating new things and developing new techniques for everything.

What was the first creative work you have completed?
My first creative work – a four graphics project, was carried out for a magazine called Tatoon. I felt truly satisfied and rewarded as I won 2 prizes for it – best ad graphics and best creative project.

What’s the work you’re most proud of?
I am very proud of the video I did for “Virgilio Sign Ring” – I have a lot in common with the character, I actually identify myself with it.



How did you come across BootB?
While having a job interview, hearing about my passion for video making and contests, the employer recommended me to join BootB. I am still very grateful to that person :).

So what caught your attention to the IP Pitch?
The creative task – video making. Lately I find a lot of satisfaction in making 3D videos and this is what I want to focus on.

How confident were you about your Solution?
Initially I was very confident about my proposal. However as days were passing by and many other Solutions were getting submitted I started to become curious about the competing proposals. Then I found out my Solution was among the 10 best – that was when I said to myslef: “I will win this Pitch!” :).

Are you a football lover? Who would you like to win the FIFA World Cup this year?
Yes, I love football. Too bad Peru hasn’t been qualifying for the World Cup for a while now :(. I hope Argentina will win this year round :).
BootB: Gracias Luis! Best of luck in your new job!
