“Trans Formes” ( 1’42‘‘ ) – 2008 – SD

This food “round dance”, a metaphor for life, is the eternal refrain of “the machine for producing and consuming” — often too serious and mechanical, but which we must laugh at in order to escape it.

Animation ( mixed techniques ) was for me the simplest and most symbolic way to tackle this subject. I wanted a play on “forms” and on words ( even invented ones ), a particular visual and semantic pleasure, expected or not, shared with the viewer.

I truly love craftsmanship in both design and making, which is why I chose to make this film from a mix of several visual techniques: frame-by-frame animation, video, and 2D and 3D computer-generated imagery. All with the sole aim of blending together and creating, I hope, an alternative to our sad “plate”.
