Congratulations ! I really love your work and the ambiance you have made in this short. I wish you the best for the competition ! Apparently, Blender was a choice you don’t regret. It will be interresting to see what in Blender attract you in term of an artistic oriented production.

Sorry for my bad english :o

Félicitations à toute l’équipe, Skhizein m’avait déjà grandement plu, continuez comme ça !

Thanks for your kind words Yadoob.
We first come to Blender by frustration. Bugs were way to long to be fixed with 3dsmax. And then, we loved the rig and setup philosophy. this project needed a lot of dynamic UV projection, this was a pain to manage with 3dsmax too.
We will start a blog soon for our new project named “9, chemin des gauchoirs”

A true inspiration! Your work is pure art, and story telling (judging by the trailer). Good luck and thank you for elegantly reminding us: blender is capable of anything if true artists are at the helms!

Bravo to all involved!

Liked it very much, although I’m not that sure about the message. Maybe I need a second screening. It creates quite dense atmosphere full of expectation. It would be interesting to see something behind the scenes or a short making of.

Thanks a lot.
You can understand the film from differents points of view. My favorite is an allegory of growing up and losing the innoncence of childhood. But I’m not the director :slight_smile:

Just seen this animation through a plug on the Evermotion site. I think it deserves to be highlighted to the Blender community, it is truly excellent work. https://vimeo.com/86528386#at=0
