Mon neveu Sayane a feté son premier anniversaire. Il y a un an, j'ai réalisé ce petit faire-part de naissance (ma soeur vit au Niger ou on mange de tres bons ananas et ou l'humour Banania a ete bien accueili, rassurez-vous!)

Pieces Mortelles

Une affiche réalisée pour le spectacle de la compagnie D-Boussole qui a adapté des pièces délicieusement macabres du dramaturge Israelien Hanokh Levin.

Berlinale!

Furtiva Lagrima will play at the 63rd Berlin Film Festival as part of the Culinary Cinema program. Probably the most fitting selection the film was ever presented in!

Animation Show of Shows

Its is an honour for me to have my film featured in this year's Animation Show of Shows. Screenings are happening at many major Animation Studios and Schools in the US in the next few weeks.
I won't be able to make it to most of them, but San Francisco, Berkeley, Pixar, PDI and ILM should be covered!

Ottawa 2012

I'm flying to Ottawa tonight to attend this curious animation festival for the first time. The singing fish should fit right in with the depressing and morbidly strange films the event is famous for.

 

I did this poster for the film. Seems quite simple and easy, took me fucking 2 weeks to settle on design and font ;)

Extracto de Lagrima

Here is a sneak peak of the film.

Annecy 2012

To help my agonizing fish compete in Annecy this year, I created a website for the film Una furtiva Lagrima. Wish him luck!

Una Furtiva Lagrima

Here are a few screenshots of a stop motion film I have been working on for the last 6 months. It is almost finished!

Tango for Jansjo

     I shot this film in my apartment in San Francisco last month. The idea came to my mind while wandering around the local IKEA store trying to find the exit! And the incredibly slick and stylish JANSJO Desklamp instantly attracted me, her slick design makes her arrogant and haughty like a proud goose! Thus a new character was born, and the melodrama could unfold! Special thanks to Maya Cárdenas and Cédric Kennel, for a lot of laughs on our spanish brainstorm!

Coming soon

My new stop motion short. Should be finished next week!

Salina

I did this poster for a high school theater show. The play SALINA by Laurent Gaudé is terrific!

35mm Scratch Animation

I stumbled upon this Film Scratch Animation that I did with 6 other students back in School. We'd scratch and paint directly on the photographic filmreel, synching it to the beautiful Piano music by Gonzales. My segment is the one using old footage from a Brigitte Bardot film.

Ken and Barbie on Vacation

Last Summer I worked on the next Pixar Short starring Ken and Barbie, released with Cars2 this year. In the following clip that Disney put online as a trailer, I animated everything but the last shot. Enjoy!

My Student Short Film : For Sock's Sake

For Sock's Sake

Here are some pics explaining my work process on FOR SOCK'S SAKE, which I just finished in Calarts, California. I shot the clothes separately in stop motion with a digital still camera on green screen, and comped them together in my drawn Backgrounds.

Spoon story

Married Life

Striptease Johnny Bravo

CGI animal walks

With standard animal models, I did the animation on Maya software in my 3rd year at Gobelins.

STOP MOTION

Clay figure, wooden doll and Aardman Studios puppet with iron armature and latex foam body, all animation and designs by myself. Facilities provided by the Bristol School of Animation. Shot with a video camera and edited with Stop Motion Pro software.

KEEP WALKING

Trailer for the Annecy Animation Festival 2007, in collaboration with Antonin Herveet, Sophia Chevrier and Cecile Francoia. The animations are hand-drawn, then coloured in Photoshop and composited in After Effects. Here is a sample of my animation work on this film:
