As I was in a kind of melancholic mood several weeks ago, I wanted to animate some intense acting shot, and thought of this scene from the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
That part always brought me litres of tears…
Looking for some chav-style character to use this sound clip on, I thought about this awesome Raph rig made by Joao Sousa,Sebastiao LopesandLuigi Lucarelli.
I don’t know why, I like to see Raph as the “cactus” brother, trying to show a spiky and fierce outside, but being a big sensitive marshmallow inside.
The rig was more oriented toward body mechanics shots, so his facials were a bit limited : I had to make my own additions to give Raph a wider set of expressions.
“Il serait utopique, à notre époque, de faire face à l'épique sans s'équiper d'idylliques breloques magiques!"
Very short little hommage to JBXand my favorite mp3 saga, Reflets d'Acide! A beautifully, sophistically-written, all-in-rymes and full of hilarious puns Fantasy story to listen.
Turn on the subtitles if you don’t understand Baguette language! Bristleback sure doesn’t know stuff about stuff.
Other Reflets d'Acide anim *should* come later, to be continued! ;)
Ah, also… STAY AT HOME! è_é
A little personnal acting exercice using the Jeeves rig from iAnimate.
I just loooove Michael Rooker’s voice and thought it would fit so well this classy cat that is Jeeves. Of course I had to make a little hommage to one of Rooker’s most famous role of those last years, daddy Yondu, through that little figure.
The line comes from the first Guardians of the Galaxymovie.
I don’t know why but I feel like he can’t be trusted…
Late late laaaate 11 Sec Club entry I was supposed to finish back in June but due to loooots of stuff, including work and lack of free time, only finished 3 months later.
Hell, Dota’s models are kind of limited but that’s a good exercice to work with them and push them as far as possible.
The cute, adorable, lovely Kobold was made by Maxxy for ourKobold Bluesshort.
Animated in Maya, then rendered in UE4.
A little thing started in July to test Truong’s Psylocke Rig, then left over for months and finally finished some weeks ago.

Spy is back with his notapple pie in a very important Cooking Competition, with no less than HEAVY ETCHEBEST (loule) as his jury! Will he manage to defend his Pie?
This is my entry for Erdamon’s TV Collab 2!
It was made closely during the same period as That Spy is a Shef, for them to be twinswith a running gag around that Banana Pie.
Now, trivia for our non-french watchers here!
Philippe Etchebest is a great french Chef who happened to do the french version of Kitchen Nightmares originally hosted by Gordon Ramsay. He’s basically Ramsay’s french alter ego, with all the caustic remarks it involves; except… you don’t dare to contest or annoy Philippe. Philippe is a mountain of a man, a rugbyman, a spartian, a litteral Heavy Weapons Guy!
So of course, all the voice lines you can hear here are picked from Philippe’s, either in Top Chef, either in Cauchemar en Cuisine. I suggest you turn the subtitles on if you’re not at ease with french!;)
Knowing that Spy is a Shef, Sniper has a little favor to ask him… Sadly, our Spy ran out of the key ingredient… and has to improvise! :T
My entry for the Scout is Delicious Collab, and a little hommage to Scoutellite’s classic Spy Is A French Chef.
Special thanks to @askwrathreview for making the first part of the short’s voice lines and suggesting the Fallout 76 music! :) To @roseviolet-tf2,Boterhamand@gandeon for giving me their opinions on the final straight!
Stay tuned tomorrow for a little surprise…. ;)

Here’s, as promised, a little breakdown of the two shots I animated on Kobold Blues for the Dota 2 Short Film Contest!
Both shots were animated within a week (around 2 days for the first shot and 3 for the second) before I left for holidays.
I’d like to thank all the team members again for inviting me on the project, especially Lisa (who did an AMAZING work on the animations of 80% of the short!)

For the first time ever… I helped in a DotA2 short for The International short film contest! The Best part being… I didnt even have to install Dota2 and open it at all (as most of you know how i feel about installing such a big game just for the s2fm software it contains…). I animated my shots directly within my beloved Maya and exported them to Maxxy who implemented them in-engine.
Anyway ! Thanks a lot to Lisa for kindly inviting me to this adorable project, filled with golden team members !
I’ll make a tiny breakdown of my shots in several days to show you my processs.
Now if you guys want to help us, if you own Dota, it is still time to vote in the game client ! :) thank you all ! ;)
