Personal work

It's just a couch!
Animation test for the company Oktobor, In Auckland, New Zealand.
The audio was given by them and I had 4 days to give my best shot. They gave me 1 extra day as I was working full time at that time.

DemoReel breakdown

Part 1 : “Where the wild things are” directed by Spike Jonze in London, UK.

*Live action concept- Animatronic suits with CG faces.
What I did : Facial animation on the character Alexander (the goat)
- During this production, I was one of the key animators on Alexander. I really enjoyed animating this character particularly cause of his sensitivity. The goal was to show how kind, sad, childish and fragile Alexander is.

- Secondary, I worked on KW. She has a very different personality. This distant, lonely, reserved character was quite a challenge to animate as we had to get subtle expressions with her wide mouth without being scary.




Part 2 : “Fly me to the moon” directed by Ben Stassen in Brussels, Belgium.

*Full CG key-framed feature.
What I did : Animation on different type of characters.
- This production was my first feature. I had the chance to work with pretty much all the characters, mostly in charge of emotional shots. Dealing with those big heads what challenging but fun!




Part 3 : Personal work

*Pig & balloon
- This little pig animation was fun to do. Quadruped;s anatomy is very interesting to work with. There are so many things to think about like legs coordination, weight... I used one of the pig rigs from “Nanny McPhee”.

*Freak!
- Using an audio file from the movie “Shrek”, I decided to do a little acting exercise.
