During the first year of the pandemic 2020 Yves Paradis had the idea of participating in the 20th anniversary of Catsuka (Major french media about animation).
.
With Lou-Victor Karnas and me, we started brainstorming by video conference on a weekly basis. It was not an easy ride, but I am so glad we were able to pull off that project since it was my first
non-remunerated passion project ever to finish in my life. As an artist, it is very easy to start a project, but it takes enormous efforts to pull it out through his completion.
Thanks to the immense talent of Lou and Yves!

For this project, each of us were able to split the tasks with our ''specialities''.
The storyboard was mainly lead by Lou with the help of Yves.
The pre-production phase was done by all of us, but I mainly focused on the character designs of the film.
The look and feel of the image and the environment art style was led by Yves, aswell as the compositing phase.
The animation was mainly lead by Lou with the help of Yves for the first (longest scene) and others and me for other scenes.
The soundtrack was developed by me.
We were able to touch every apsect of the film, from pre-production phase to post-production phase but we had our own mandate in a way.
