The website
www.senecac.on.ca/ called him "Master of Movie Mayhem."

Giovanni Fiel Nakpil is working as a 3D Modeler for Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) — the award-winning visual effects company owned by Star Wars creator George Lucas. Gio continues to add blockbusters to his already impressive resumé. They include the latest Pirates of the Caribbean movie, the final chapter of the Star Wars saga and War of the Worlds.
Giovanni’s love of drawing and Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) led him to Seneca’s Digital Media Technical Production program, which prepares students for careers in the computer graphics and digital media industries.
The first ILM project he worked on as a 3D Modeler was Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones.Today, his film credits include Van Helsing, Dreamcatcher, Matrix Revolutions and both Pirates of The Caribbean films.
“I never would have dreamed that I would be working for ILM,” says the 30-year-old Star Wars fan. He was recruited to ILM after working for animation companies in Toronto and Texas.
His Seneca training has allowed him to take on greater challenges with each film, culminating with a chance to work on a Steven Spielberg production.
“Being able to work on War of the Worlds was like winning the lottery.”
Giovanni created the giant laserblasting alien machines in War of the Worlds — considered to be a major character in the film — and the alien probe that threatens Tom Cruise.
Yon palang kinatatakitan nating mga animations, gawa ng isang kapamilya natin.

His aunt, Corito Fiel of Philippine Daily Inquirer, wrote:
"CAUGHT my nephew in
Van Helsing and though Giovanni Fiel Nakpil was somewhere lost in the fast-moving after-film credits.Felt his unseen yet strong, sure hand in all its fire-breathing glory as Dracula in his climactic battle with Hugh Jackman as the Demon Slayer, grandly morphs into the frighteningly hideous HellBeast."
