Wild things

Here are a few quick colorsketches. It was made out of an assignment from the brilliant art director Daisuke Tsutsumi (art director on Toy Story 3), who was giving a colorscript masterclass this weekend in Paris. I'd like to thank by the way my good friend Paul Abadilla for the info. It was really inspiring and constructive, and Dice is a really cool guy.

Test scene

Test scene from Maël GOURMELEN on Vimeo.

Hello everyone, here is a test scene I did for the current project that I'm working on, beside my actual job. While it is a very short movie (around 1:20), it's gonna be very long to make it alone.

I am still cranking on the rest of the animation now (without thinking about color and composit), I know the render looks a little bit rough and sketchy, but I would like to stay as close as possible from the early concepts...

I hope that you will enjoy it.

Don't miss Pooh !

Just a bit of advertising here, the movie will be in theaters, july 15 in the US and april 13 in France. I got the huge pleasure to animate a tiny bit on it, the story's really cute and funky, don't miss it !

Von Rothbart, from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake.

 

Here is just a personal vision of the evil sorcerer, from Marius Petipa and Noureev's ballet.

I apologize to the purists if I am mistaking about the character.

For Kellogg's

Hello everyone, here are some character studies I did a few month ago, for a Kellogg's TV commercial. They weren't accepted unfortunately, I will try to do better next time...

I wish a happy new year to everybody !

I'm a monster trailer

I'm a monster from Headless Productions on Vimeo.

Hello everyone, "I'm a monster", is a trailer for a feature project directed by the talented Adrian Garcia, Alfredo Torres and Victor Maldonado. I brought a contribution to the animation of it with my dear friend Julien Bizat, who taught me so much. I really thank him and Victor, for trusting me on this, and wish all the best to them, and to this project, which really deserves to be done...

Next to this, I also thank the Online Computer Science Degree for their recognition to this blog.
