PETRICHOR

by AxelleGuil on 26 May 2023 for Rookie Awards 2023

On a small island at sea, it's time for Petri, a young girl, to race against her yearly opponent, who is none other than the first rain of the monsoon season. This is my 2023 Graduation film at l'Ecole Pivaut.

PÉTRICHOR ( whose name comes from the smell that accompanies the rain ) is my graduation student film, which aims to tell a light, refreshing story of a girl that lives her own adventure through the mundane of her life.

CHARACTER

Pétri

Pétri is an enthusiastic and tenacious girl. Once she has her sights on her goal, she doesn't relent until she gets there. She races against the rain every year, building both a competition and a friendship with it. In the end, does she just race the rain ? Or is she bringing it along to the rest of the island?

BACKGROUNDS

CONCEPTS AND EARLY DRAFTS

The lineless style came with the very first depiction of Pétri. Concepts were more painterly, then were adapted to a flatter style to help production along - as I was to work on the film (mostly) alone. Among the stylistic references for the film were Long way North ( Tout en haut du monde) and Calamity by Rémi Chayé, as well as Bee and Puppycat by Natasha Allegri, and Steven Universe by Rebecca Sugar.
