Poulocratie - A short movie made from March to April 2021

This was a 6 weeks group project themed around the french saying "On ne fait pas d'omelette sans casser des oeufs". The litteral translation would be "you cannot make an omelette without breaking any eggs". It means that in order to get something you have to accept to make some sacrifices.

Round of applause for our sponsors

We chose to create a world where omelettes are prohibited, and making one could be punished by death, according to our saying "on ne fait pas d'omelette"/"One shall not make an omelette", our protagonist Michel, feeling nostalgic of the old world gets his hands on an egg, at the cost of his life

Concept Art and Color Board 

A few concept posters, some of which are used in the movie, inspired by various propaganda imagery. Some are based on word plays and puns.
We took inspiration from dystopic pieces of media, history and movies such as Equilibrium, Brazil, 1984....

The flyer in the ending shot is a law article stipulating : " One shall not make an omelette, it is punished by penalty of death"


Michel, the main character of the movie

The Chicken Police

The Chicken Police name "Poulice" is a pun with "Police" and "Poules"/"Chicken".

Full Chicken Demo - Handmade RIG

A little interaction between Michel and the Chicken Police

Some Props of the movie

We made a smart material on Substance painter to get the slight painterly look we wanted on our textures in a quick and effective manner.

On the whole, this project was a challenge to complete on a tight 6 weeks deadline, but it was also a good occasion to test a lot of things, and to prepare ourselves for the graduation movie project we'll have to tackle next year!
