Maman Est En Amerique. 2013.

I was invited to Luxembourg to work on Studio 352’s slate of features after having worked for their co production in Paris on Le Jour Des Corneillies at Finelment Productions.

Production techniques-

Maman‘ is one of the most straight forward processes I’ve worked on. I enjoyed very much the simplicity and charm of the color script with its stylistic origins in comic books. I contributed a lot of knowledge in terms of rejigging the layout stacks and redoing line art in order to make them work for production/comp..

Luxembourg is an interesting city to visit with a size able ravine running through it. A great place to sketch and draw.

Awards-This project won many awards including…

Annecy International Animated Film Festival 2013. Winner-Special Distinction.
César Awards, France. 2014 Nominee for best animated feature
Hamburg Film Festival 2013. Nominee- Michel Award.
