Demoreel 2012


In july I graduated from La Poudriere and here is my freshly fresh showreel filled up with pieces of my last films (graduation film included!).

Anyway soon I'll do one more post to tell more about my graduation film.

My little hamster

My 1-minute film for Les espoirs d'animation competition organized by kids TV channel Canal J. Check it out >>>> here!


It's in French and isn't subtitled, sorry. I'll try to settle it somehow but I hope the story is more or less clear even without the dialogues.

The film was made in a month in paper cut-out technique. The animation was done in 5 days.

When I was kid I dreamt to have a hamster but my parents were strictly against any animals at home. I envy this little girl, really.





Some more making of photos can be found here.

Fox in the snow

A while ago I made little cut-out animation for the first Russian flipbook festival — Animabook. And  to my big surprise it won the first prize! So it'll be published for real, on paper! (500 copies!)


Here's the animation:



And here's the main character on stage:

Deadline / planning / holidays-are-soon calendars

It's little bit easier to work hard with some chocolate, so last november I decided to make chocolate calendars for my classmates.


I never made them before, so the first one was for me. Just to try how it works. I bought sweets in supermarket and cut cardboard box I had brought a while ago for I don't remember what.


I wanted to make little cardboard boxes for each sweet but I found an easier and better way - just to stick them with paper tape and then to cover a backside with a piece of paper.



It turned well and the rest was made using the same algorythm: chocolate, cardboard and 3 colours — white, black and pink. Each calendar had illustration that was somehow connected with the storylines of films we were working on.

At home after busy week-end:


Say yes to 2012 2 2 2 2 2

Back from Christmas holidays, back to school. I made two new animations in last 2 months but can't show them yet. One is for Canal J competition and the second one is 20 seconds short about the evolution that was one week exercise with Federico Vitali. Anyway there're some cotton wool stuff I made on week-ends.

+ making of photos!

There's no much to say for now as there's no much to show. Just very first researches of a main character for my graduation film. I keep on working on script though. And yep, this is the first post with a new tag — graduation film! Hopefully will post some news soon.

Stay tuned.
