sevenswells: (Nodame French!?)

Perhaps you didn't know this, but the French are actually super strong in the field of animation. Recently some animators have tried to use mixed techniques in their projects, part live-action part 2D animation, and here below are some examples of those truly awesome experimentations that I wanted to share with you:

First, Todor & Petru:



Second, a video clip for the English band Is Tropical, directed by the collective of artists MEGAFORCE and animated by another collective called se7en, most of them coming from the Gobelins school of animation. Warning: this clip is violent, full of gore, not suited for minors, and may contain triggery images -- NSFW:




Finally, at least one domain in which we can still be considered cool. 2D animation is not dead!

DUDE. Thanks so much for sharing these - I have long known of the awesomeness of French animation (2D/hand-drawn animation is my religion) but it can be hard to find new stuff without helpful links! :DDDD

Hee, glad to know you liked these! I think you might like "Baïdir" too then: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQmmdHifRZQ
It's not entirely 2D but there is some beautiful animation in there -- and the animators who made it are French too, of course ^^
