Once Upon a Time

This is the first keyframe I made for the king arthur short film. The style is inspired by medieval illuminations and the work of I.Bilibine and A.Diboine. Unfortunately the idea was not kept.

The client wanted a more realistic style, so I took inspiration from the work of Cy-lindric and Tim Mc Burnie.

This is the very first visual development work I did at Amopix studio, right after my graduation during summer of 2021. The French National Library (BNF) wanted to make short films for their website on the theme of the Arthurian legend and the Odyssey. The goal was to make about twenty paintings that could be slightly animated. Based on their instructions I made two mini storyboards, a few color scripts, the charadesign and several assets for the background.

It was a very instructive first experience !
