FESTIVAL ALERT

Looks like my graduation movie, "Happily... Even After", made it to a Festival!

It'll be presented at the Monstra - Lisbon Animated Film Festival in the "Best of the World" program, from March 12 to March 22, 2015.

I never thought my movie would be selected anywhere, but it did! And I'm more than happy about that. Working hard pays off. That's why I never stop.

As a reminder, you can watch "Happily... Even After" HERE.

"Happily... Even After" Short Movie

Finally!

Here is my Diploma's Short Movie, "Happily... Even After".

Two short months to make those three minutes of animation.

And this is the final result.

I wish I had more time to do it, but well, it's over and I'll take my time for my other personal projects.

I hope you enjoy it! Don't hesitate to tell me what you think about it.

You can also find it on my website, along with concepts, character design and screenshots from the film.

Guess who made it...

Yesterday, I graduated from Emile Cohl school!

Those five years are finally over. Now a new life can begin.

I am so ready to work hard to get where I want to be.

I can't wait to see what life holds in store for me.

By the way, I made a Facebook page for my work to be seen even more.

Don't hesitate to "like" it, I will post a lot on it.

Diploma!

Diploma's done! Finally!

Actually, my five years in Emile Cohl school ended last Tuesday. But it was not everyone's case.

So now, I can share with you all a part of my work.

I wanted to give the jury a program with a synopsis and screenshots inside, and I added my own details on the right. 

I pretty much like it.

Something else I liked : the scrolling background with falling snow screened on the two sides of the room.

The video is made of three backgrounds I made for my movie. I added things to link them all together.

Here are the three big moments of this video.

Results are planned tomorrow night!

Can't wait, for everything to be over, for pressure to leave, and for a new life (full of hard work) to start!

Diploma's Animated Shot

One more shot from my upcoming short movie. It's almost over (no you didn't notice the owl's missing paws...).

I'm starting to see what the whole movie will look like. It should be over in a week (not counting the title and the credits).

Hope you like it!

Diploma's final shots

Two last screen shots. Much more to come. Hope I can post again soon!

Diploma's final shots

Two more screen shots!

Diploma's final shots

Fifteen days without posting... Working so hard. For the best I hope!

I finally took some time to take screen shots today.

I have to say that among all the shots I made, none of them is completely over. So changes will be made (like shadows added...). I just concentrate on finishing the animation of the whole movie.

Here are the first two shots.

Diploma's Animated Shots

As I don't regularly post here, I uploaded a bunch of shots I made (all following and in the right order of course). Won't tell you what it's about or when exactly these are placed in the movie, it'd be too easy. Haha

I have to say that some changes will probably be done by the end of the production.

Hope you like this video. I'm working hard!

Diploma's animated shots

Sorry for not posting a lot, but I'm working hard on my short movie, so I forget about doing so... And maybe I don't really want to show that much for now either. Haha

BUT! Here are ... shots. 

Hope you enjoy them.

Diploma's shots

Oh guys, I'm working so hard on my diploma! Everything's going on pretty well, and tiredness (or anything) won't bring me down! 

Plus, I had a musical test for the credits, and I can tell my partner is pretty good at what he does.

Here are some of the new shots I made. As you can see, color is coming!

Diploma's Animated Shot

Here's the first animated shot from my Diploma Project.

I loved working on it, even though it took me 25min to make only one drawing (per character of course). Haha

I can't wait for the entire movie to be done!

Hope you like this little preview.

How is Diploma going?

Hey everyone!

I'm sorry for not posting for... 11 days now. There's been a lot going on actually.

As the assessment diploma is next Tuesday (for me), I had to prepare many things, like researches, screenshots, character designs... and even TWO animatics!  Haha

At least everything's on my side to make things right, well I hope so.

Anyway, after that day, I'll be able to post more as all I'll have to think about is "Making The Movie".

Here's a new screenshot and a "line-up".

Diploma's layouts

Finally, holidays allow me to work on my diploma project. I wasn't in the mood to animate, so I made some layouts, and I can say I had fun making them!

Diploma's Animated Shot

Yay! Here is the first animated shot from my Diploma project!

I love doing this! Each drawing takes me 25mins to make (per character of course), but I know I'll make it till the end!

Hope you like this little preview.

Dreamworks... Where I dream of working.

Your universe is very interesting, Jessica. I'm really looking forward to seeing the final version of your film. 

- The Dreamworks recruiter 

Needless to say that I thanked her a thousand times!

Little explanation : Today, we had the honor to meet the Dreamworks recruiter, not necessarily to get a job, but to get in touch with her and maybe get some advice. This was a wonderful experience. I love speaking English and "selling" my work. She was so nice with us!
Still can't believe how lucky we are. 

OWLIDAYS...

Come on, little owl. You can do it!

Diploma's final shots (Part 2)

 Two more shots made this week.

Diploma's final shots

Here are two shots I animated for my diploma. It probably won't be in black and white, but they're done for now!

Diploma's final images (Part 6)

Here are the last tests! I finally found how to inlay my characters in the layouts. I also started making some of them. I only have to think "production" now.
