Thanks to the creators of this animation for giving us creative inspiration!
I go in more depth about the fundamentals of animation in my online courses: www.animatorguild.com/

[@DinoSchnitzel_mit_Pomis]

I see Gobelins, I like. The stories are so awesome and the variety of different animations is mindblowing!

[@aincrix51]

French animators' works are best known for their greatness in quality, and animation at the same time thats crazily consistent and realistic- and there's alot of french animations that is pretty awesome to watch, take the Dofus movie, i highly recommend watching it 👀

[@yv3652]

Some of the movement is so realistic you wonder if its rotoscoped at times.

[@hw2311]

These Goblins sure can animate.

[@HowardWimshurst]

hahaha

[@solitarymacaroni]

Can't imagine anyone underestimating French Animation. Especially anything from Gobelins ❤

[@rafiiktl3928]

Actualy french animation is carying the japanese industry like vincent chansard

[@dhimankalita1690]

Lmao delusional

[@IIScarletKingII]

Ok. I won't.

[@aniMangaMagic]

To be honest, French Animation is one of the best.
They have high design/Visual quality, high animation quality and most of all their story telling skills is at the highest.
I always wished to see more than short. But their quality standard requires a lot of time and money, I believe that's why they go all in with students.
They're very talented 🔥

The frame by frame for the disintegrating hand feels a lot like slow motion footage of ballistic gel impacts, especially that rippling and tearing. Few things come to mind that would also have that kind of viscosity of the ripples and the way it strings out like that when it breaks apart. I wouldn't be surprised if that's what the animator was referencing.

[@maximeteppe7627]

I was thinking maybe a slo-mo shot of a liquide filled ballon being popped (and maybe being blown upon at the same time; or just filmed sideways, but yeah, there's a lot of imagination and stylisation going on at the same time

[@shalomartisi]

I watched this particular short a few months ago, and all I could think of was how beautiful this 45 second short was

[@rac-toonz]

The details are incredible

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

You've been busy :) Enjoying these recent uploads.

[@elesionfioroni2118]

As someone who is now studying in the hopes of going to gobelins next year, I am glad this video exists.

[@sparktaylor8489]

Love the title
(Even though even now we're barely seeing the beginning of people taking animation as a whole seriously and not underestimating it and we inside the bubble of animation get a little lost when looking back at how far we've come which is a lot Don't get me wrong but we still have quite the mountain to climb)

[@servicecambriolagegrosbg1332]

And it's just a trailer for the Annecy animation festival, check the shorts of each years, they are awesome ! If you liked it you will like the animation studio "remembers" ;)

[@esteban-iriarte-animation]

Truly amazing

[@original_pranxter]

The fluid dynamics reminded me of 'Vampire hunter D'

[@drop0int]

Since this short was based on Mexican folklore, one can assume that the deity depicted in the monkey headdress is likely Xipe Totec, god of rebirth among many other things. So as macabre as it might seem, that "paper" texture you describe is likely the flayed skin worn by Xipe Totec in mythological descriptions 😅
Perhaps him blowing away the baby and what appears to be a xoloitzcuintle(a dog shepherd for humans in the afterlife) is Xipe Totec "breathing life" into them to facilitate the life, death and rebirth cycle. A theory that is further cemented in the following scene as the two subjects emerge from the mouth of what appears to be a corpse(possible symbology of returning from the underworld)
Even in the credits still image, the colours shift from very unsaturated lifeless hues, to more saturated and lively colours. Another possible indication of life renewed

Spirit/soul guide for the dead = psychopomp

[@bastianmalikbuttner8475]

[@Seven203ROS]

[@MrbastienLHatena]

Vive la France !

[@bread1778]
