GOM is a short animation film directed by five students from the french animation school ESMA : Anthony Delliste, Tristan Evin, Maxime Guillemin, Florent Razafimandimby and Alexis Vallauri. The story takes place around a cricus and a central character, GOM, who's got an elastic body which reminds me Luffy from One Piece. Some very nice coloured atmospheres and a fun universe, with a good editing. Voices (it's rare in students animation films) were made by Emmanuel Garijo, Nathalie Homs, et Julien Kramer and the music scored by Isaac Chia. the whole soundtrack was mixed by Jose Vicente and Yoann Poncet from the Studio des aviateurs.
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.
Jolie Bobine is a short 3D animation film directed by Nicolas Deruy, Sylvain Simao, Samuel Rivière and Stephanie Burnet from an original idea of Alexandra Latour (former students of Bellecour school).

Alain Bashung and Serge Gainsbourg were two very very famous french singers (I don't know if they're known abroad). Alain Bashung, who passed away few years ago, made a cover album of Gainsbourg's L'home à la tête de chou. For the coming soon release of this album, a teaser video was produced by french video production agency ChezEddy and directed by Maxime Brunnel. This music video is almost a perfect illustration of this erotic song, with a great tone playing on subtle colours, sober graphics, a great animation work and not too much suggestive pictures.
