Hidden Animation ~ J’ai perdu mon corps (I lost my body), dir. Jérémy Clapin (2019).

J’ai perdu mon corps is a long-length animated movie which received the highest distinction (Cristal du long métrage) at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival in 2019. It tells the story of a disembodied hand in search of its body, young Naoufel. The storytelling is split in two : the hand’s quest and Naoufel’s life as he falls in love with Gabrielle and how it changes his life. Scenery and art style are both urban and poetic, showcasing the city of Paris, its subway lines and its apartment buildings.

The festival week was awesome, it’s now over and our Annecy opening is finally out !
Here is “Le Serpent Blanc” / “The White Snake” that I made with the talented @mathildeloubes@mathildejr@carnetvore@mollejames@toriknew

This was our second year main assignment and I’m very happy to share it with you.

There are four other openings that my dear class @crfa19 made, you can watch them all here : https://vimeo.com/album/4628717

I had a great time working on this project with my awesome team, very happy to share it with you :)

We also need to thank our composers Anna Cordonnier & Amandine Robillard for their amazing work !

Looking forward to next year’s Annecy festival ! :)

I made the character design on our Annecy opening “Le Serpent Blanc”, this is the main character. I collaborated with Claire Matz on the turn around, hands and feet as she was in charge of a lot of animation for this character.

Additional characters I made directly in the layout for “Le Serpent Blanc”.

A bunch of early character researches I made for our Annecy opening !

These are from one of the first versions we had in mind which included kids, dancers, a jade emperor and a very busy staff… A lot of characters that didn’t make it in the final version  !
