The Christmas Spirit - Short Movie (2020)

Here it is, at last, my first short movie done in solo for the end of my second year at ESMA !

From December with concept art until June with final post prod retouch ; animation, rendering, compositing, editing done in one month, as required for the exam. Rig and character provided by ESMA, all other aspects are my doing.

Pitch
The winter is settled, it is night. A lonely half-timbered house appears at the horizon, and an old toy maker comes out from his workshop, with a tinsel in his hands. He sets it as the right place, and gains energy as he continues. With a few steps aback, he loos at his house, happy of his work. The façade lights up and the toys in the frontage move as if by magic. He runs back inside, young again, as he became the Christmas spirit.
