<p><span style="color: #ff6600;">[Eng]</span> I &#8220;met&#8221; Graham Ross on Twitter (<a href="http://twitter.com/GrahamHRoss" target="_blank">@</a><span style="color: #888888;"><a href="http://twitter.com/GrahamHRoss" target="_blank">GrahamHRoss</a>) </span>just as he was completing his graduate degree at the Academy of Art in San Francisco. There was already a teaser and some stills of his animation work on his blog, but it was only about a month ago that I finally got to see the final product of this very impressive short. Working solo and  making a short animated film like this is quite an undertaking. I am very pleased to feature Graham&#8217;s work on my&nbsp;blog.</p>
<p><em><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-508" style="margin-right: 10px; float: left;" title="GRoss_picture_small" src="http://www.cronos4.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/GRoss_picture_small.jpg" alt="GRoss_picture_small" width="193" height="147" /><span class="dquo"><span class="dquo">&#8220;</span></span>The origin of the idea is hard to pinpoint.  I was looking for something that took place in one set with one character.  Since it was my sole responsibility to complete the film I had to really simplify things, so complicated texturing and huge sets were out immediately.  I think since I was young I&#8217;d always been interested in macro photography and seeing everyday objects from a different perspective.  So, everything just kind of fell into place!<br />
It took me about two years to complete.  I used mostly Maya but for finishing I used Flash, After Effects and&nbsp;Premiere.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Please check it out and leave a comment. As you know, feedback is greatly appreciated. In addition, Graham has been kind enough to include his making-of steps (concept sketch, storyboard, test render, etc.) on his blog for this project&thinsp;&#8212;&thinsp;a great source of information for anybody interested in the animation process:<span style="color: #ff6600;"><a href="http://smallstepanimation.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"></p>

<p><span><em> </em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;">[Fr]</span> J&#8217;ai  &#8220;rencontré&#8221; Graham Ross sur Twitter (<a href="http://twitter.com/GrahamHRoss" target="_blank">@</a><span style="color: #888888;"><a href="http://twitter.com/GrahamHRoss" target="_blank">GrahamHRoss</a></span><span style="color: #888888;">) </span>juste comme il  complétait sa formation à <em>the Academy of Art </em>de San Francisco. Il y avait  déjà un court extrait et quelques images de son animation sur son blogue, mais  c&#8217;est seulement il y a un mois environ que j&#8217;ai eu la chance de voir la version  finale de cet impressionnant petit film. Travailler seul à la création d&#8217;un  court métrage d&#8217;animation comme celui-ci est tout un défi. Je suis très heureux  de présenter le travail de Graham sur mon&nbsp;blogue.</p>
<p><em><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-508" style="margin-left: 10px; float: right;" title="GRoss_picture_small" src="http://www.cronos4.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/GRoss_picture_small.jpg" alt="GRoss_picture_small" width="193" height="147" />« L&#8217;origine de l&#8217;idée est difficile à cerner. Je cherchais une histoire qui  se passerait dans un seul lieu, avec un seul personnage. Comme l&#8217;ensemble du  travail sur ce film était ma responsabilité, j&#8217;ai vraiment dû simplifier  les choses, ce qui éliminait immédiatement les textures complexes et les énormes  décors. Je pense que,  depuis mon tout jeune âge, j&#8217;ai toujours été intéressé  par la macro photographie. De voir les objets de la vie courante dans une  perspective différente. C&#8217;est ainsi que tout s’est plus ou moins mis en  place! Il m&#8217;a fallu environ deux ans pour effectuer le travail. J&#8217;ai utilisé  essentiellement </em><em>Maya, mais </em><em>pour la finition j&#8217;ai aussi utilisé  Flash, After Effects et Premiere.</em><em>&nbsp;»</em></p>
<p>Regarder le film et, s.v.p., laisser un commentaire. Comme vous le  savez, c&#8217;est toujours grandement appréciable de recevoir de la rétroaction  (feedback). De plus, Graham a eu la générosité de partager les différentes  étapes de la production de son film (concept sketch, scénarimage, test de rendu,  etc.) sur un blogue dédié à ce projet&thinsp;&#8212;&thinsp;une grande source d&#8217;information pour  toute personne intéresse par le processus de la création d&#8217;une animation:<a href="http://smallstepanimation.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"></p>

<p><span style="color: #ff6600;">[Eng]</span> I found this nice animated short on Vimeo. Made at the renowned international film school <em><a href="http://www.filmakademie.de/?L=1">Baden-Württemberg Filmakademie</a></em> (in Germany) by <em>Egmont Mayer</em>. I like the design and the story. The animation work, in Softimage|XSI, is good too. &#8220;A man lives alone in a small apartment. The little contact he had with other people has dropped to zero since the rabbit appeared. Every attempt to get the rabbit out of his apartment has failed and since he is not sure whether or not pets are allowed in the building, he does not let anybody enter his&nbsp;apartment.&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;">[Fr]</span> J&#8217;ai trouvé ce charmant court métrage d&#8217;animation sur Viméo. Réaliser à la  réputée école internationale du film <em><a href="http://www.filmakademie.de/?L=1">Baden-Württemberg Filmakademie</a></em> (en Allemagne) par <em>Egmont Mayer</em>. J&#8217;aime bien le design et l&#8217;histoire. Le travail  d&#8217;animation, en Softimage|XSI, est aussi très bien. «Un homme vit seul dans un  petit appartement. Le peu de contacts qu&#8217;il a avec d&#8217;autres personnes est tombé  à zéro depuis l&#8217;arrivée du lapin. Toute tentative de sortir le lapin de son  appartement a échoué. Comme il n&#8217;est pas sûr que les animaux sont admis dans le  bâtiment, il ne laisse personne entrer dans son&nbsp;appartement.»</p>

<h3>A Swedish animated movie featuring the voices of Juliette Lewis and Vincent&nbsp;Galo?</h3>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;">[Eng]</span> Metropia, directed by <em><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0757975/" target="_blank">Tarik Saleh</a></em>, is a feature-length animated movie from Sweden. The film was co-produced by <a href="http://www.atmo.se/" target="_blank">Atmo Metro</a> (Sweden), Zentropa Entertainment (Denmark), and Tordenfilm As (Norway) and has received 400,000 Euros from Eurimages (European cinema fun). Despite the relatively small budget of $3 million, the images I have seen to date, along with the two videos shown in this post, are very&nbsp;promising.</p>
<p>The film appears to be a great blend of stop motion, 2D animation and possibly 3D. Juliette Lewis and Vincent Gallo have already been confirmed for voices. The movie is expected to be released in the fall of 2009. I will keep you posted with up-to-the-minute&nbsp;updates!</p>
<p>The first video is the official trailer. The other is an interview with the director (unfortunately in Swedish. Wish I&#8217;d paid more attention to the Swedish chef&#8230;) where you can see some excerpts from the&nbsp;movie.</p>
<p><em>What do you think of this style of animation? I&#8217;d love to have your&nbsp;input&#8230;</em></p>

<p><span style="color: #ff6600;">[Fr]</span> Metropia, réalisé par <em><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0757975/" target="_blank">Tarik Saleh</a></em>, est un long-métrage d&#8217;animation en  provenance de Suède. Le film serait une coproduction de <a href="http://www.atmo.se/" target="_blank">Atmo Metro </a>(Suède),  Zentropa Entertainment (Danemark), et Tordenfilm As (Norvège) et aurait reçu une aide de 400 000 euros de la part d&#8217;Eurimages (fonds de soutien au cinéma  européen). Malgré un relativement petit budget de 3 millions de dollars, les  images qui me sont parvenus et les deux vidéos ci-joints sont très&nbsp;prometteurs.</p>
<p>Le film semble un heureux mélange de stop  motion, d&#8217;animation 2D et possiblement de 3D. Et pour la distribution des voix en anglais, on confirme déjà Juliette Lewis et Vincent Gallo. Sortie prévue: automne 2009. Je vous tiens au courant dès que j&#8217;en sais un peu&nbsp;plus!</p>
<p>Le premier vidéo est la plus récente bande-annonce officielle. L&#8217;autre c&#8217;est une entrevue avec le réalisateur (en suédois malheureusement) où on peut apercevoir quelques extraits du&nbsp;film.</p>
<p><em>Faites-moi savoir ce que vous pensez de cette bande-annonce et de ce style&nbsp;d&#8217;animation!</em></p>

<p><span style="color: #ff6600;">[Eng]</span> Amazing short and beautiful 3D rendering. Created by filmmaker Bruce Branit, <em>World Builder</em> was shot in a single day but followed by about 2 years of post production. I wish 3D modeling would be that easy and&nbsp;interactive!</p>
<h3>Un monde 3D au bout des&nbsp;doigts!</h3>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;">[Fr]</span> Un court métrage impressionnant avec des rendus 3D superbes. Créé par le cinéaste Bruce Branit, <em>World Builder</em> à été filmé en une seule journée, mais a nécessité 2 ans de post production. Si seulement la modélisation 3D était si facile et&nbsp;interactive!</p>
