A hole in the place of heart

My first animation short film was finished in January 2005; the title is « Un trou à la place du cœur » (A hole in the place of heart). It is an independent film product without any budget.

• Duration: 2’52"
• Technique: sand animation
• Original music: Mathieu Lozinguez
• Camera: still camera
• Synopsis: When the violence of individuals generates the birth of a strange collective monster, anything is possible... A surrealist vision of inhumanity.
• Info: I worked starting from a original storyboard, but I had changed a little the story during drawing. No producer and no budget for this independent short film.
