Eaux Fortes, directed by Rémi Chayé

I wrote some days ago an article about "Longway North", an upcoming animation movie directed by Rémi Chayé (here). I discovered via the very good website Catsuka another short animation film directed by the same director in 2005, when he was studying in the french animation scholl La Poudrière. Called "Eaux Fortes", the very poetic short film shows a young man caught by a tsunami. As in "Longway North" we find the same graphic universe, with a lot of soft colors tinted areas, but the lines are more rough.

Music video "When I am king" by Tim Knol directed by Sverre Fredriksen

This music video has been released two years ago, but after a quick search on the web it appears that there were not a lot of articles about it. However the video is really great, mixing up a lot of techniques : pyrography, stop-motion and animation (with a bit of modelling). Directed by Sverre Fredriksen and directed by YellowSubmarine, the video illustrates with humor and poetry the song "When I am king" by Tim Knol. The video making-of unveils some details of concetion work, which needed several hours of work for one second of animation.

Orgesticulanismus by Mathieu Labaye

Orgesticulanismus, an animation by Mathieu Labaye

A few years ago, Mind Game gave me this feeling. But since that it's the first time that an animation stuns me this way. In a visual, technical and emotional point of vue this film is really great. Mathieu Labaye, a very talented animator, made this animation in tribute to his father, who was paralysed by a sclerosis at 29 and deceased at 55. It's from an interview of him that the film begins, starting by the handicap, motionless, to reach the abstract and extreme motion. Very original and experimental, the animation is the very technique to sublime the motion, with an infinite freedom of evolution. The middle part of the film, featuring a crazy dance, is really stunning (the work on sound effects and music is great too), and just for this scene you must see this video.
