Electroshock – ESMA 2011
Look at what we got today! Elliot Maren just sent me a link to that great short film he made with four others ESMA students. Electroshock is a very good looking 8 minutes shortfilm done at French animation school ESMA and YES! it is not a FREAKING CHASE!!!! It is good to see that students still care about storytelling and acting.
The shortfilm is probably inspired by “Cloudy with a chance of meatballs” and it really matches the visual quality of Sony’s movie. I especially love the colours they put in the shadows and how they handled the SSS.
I have featured several short films from that school already and it is good to see that Gobelins and Supinfocom have a really strong competition.
The pool of talents in France is increasing dramatically, I just hope that one day the demand could match the offer. Investors, are you hearing me??? 😉
Great job guys!

ESMA Mythologique shortfilm is out
That was fun.
Great animated short, really fun to watch. And I loved the shading and the lighting work really nice details! The only thing I would have left out is the ending part, maybe I’m wrong! but either way great work! THanks for the share!
Really nice story line and animation!
The lighting, shading and rendering was just the “cherry on the cake”!
Thanks for the post Olive!

Hi guys,
Do u know whats that Anime control? Ive tried to google it but with no result. Is it inhouse? or do u know some alternatives? it looks greit.
Next week I wanna start animating in Maya (used Max before), I am gonna start with free rigs, but this plug would be greit plus.
Thx!
I am guessing English is not your first language. I am having trouble understanding what you are saying Martin. If you are talking about the second video where they are demonstrating the rig they created for the shortfilm, yes they made it themselves. This is what Rigging involves, creating an animatable skeleton. The task can be simplified by using AutoRigs like abAutorig.
The free Maya rigs I could recommend are Norman, Morpheus and the AnimSchool rig Malcolm. I wrote several articles about those rigs on my blog. You can use the search box to find them all.
