Round of applause for our sponsors
During our third year at ESMA, we had to create a 20 second animation. The name of the project was "ZAPPING", and with a team of 7 people, we decided to create an advertisement for a sushi restaurant.


I'm going to show you a shot I worked on, animation-wise. We wanted to show the chef of the restaurant, Takashi, gently salt the fish. We tried to focus on the impatience he has to prepare the fish.


Above is the final shot.


This is the rig of Takashi. It was made by another member of the group, Pauline Salles, who is specialized in rigging. The model was made by Abla Saigh.


Above, you can see all the steps that led to the animation of the shot.


The animatic was the starting point, it was made by Esther Garcia Fernandez.

Then the animation reference, made by Paola Navarro.

Then animation in step that I did.

After, the animation in spline.

And finally, the shot with lighting, textures, grooming, cloth simulation and compositing !

Those domains were covered by: Abla Saigh, Alizée Waquez, Pauline Salles and Veronika Nikulina.


The sound was recorded at school, by another student.

Thanks for reading my application to the contest !
