The new 2011 calendar from Chez Eddy is out !!!
We've been asked to share this calendar with Mat&FX.
And given that 2011 is closer to the future, we decided to go for a old 3D anaglyph style.
At the top of the picture, it's written :
" The Giant is dressed up to the two thousand nines "

Bonne annee à tous!!
Le tout nouveau calendrier 2011 de Chez Eddy est fini .
Nous avons partage le calendrier en avec Mat&FX.
2011 est bien plus proche du futur, du coup nous avons decidé de faire une illusration en 3D anaglyphe, comme dans les livres quand on était gamin.
Vous savez bien, ceux avec des posters de dinosaures en 3D.

Here is a close up, for you to check at home with your 3D glasses.

Giant Episode 2 Sun

2010-10-11T21:54:00.008+01:00

The second episode of the Giant's Serie is finally finished!

As we said before, each episode will have a different Giant. This one is the story of "The Giant Sun" and his lost ray beam.
The idea is to travel through the world of the Giant and discover the untold truth about them and their conflicts with the human being.
You can discover below some pictures of the (futur) others Giants.

Special Big thanks to David Kamp for his great sound ;)
And also big thanks to Passion Pictures people, who give us a good and warm place to work on our personal projects, with a proper desk... niceee!

Those 2 first episodes were autoproduced, we would love to keep on creating episodes. We're looking for someone who could help us on producing it. "We need you!"

Voila le deuxieme episode du projet de serie TV Giant.

Comme nous l'avons déjà expliqué dans un post précédent, chaque épisode raconte les aventures d'un géant différent. Celui ci est basé sur le Géant Soleil qui vient de perdre son rayon de soleil au milieu d'un ville d'humains.
L'idée est de suivre tous ces géants et ainsi decouvrir leur face caché, car ils ne sont pas si terrifiants qu'il n'y parait.

En vrac différents designs des eventuels prochains géant.

Grand merci a David Kamp pour son super travail sur le sound design!
Et aussi un gros merci aux gens de Passion Pictures pour nous avoir preté ce joli bureau pour nous permettre de travailler sur nos projets perso.

Ces 2 premiers episodes ont ete autoproduit, on a d'autres histoires sous le coude, tout chaud, tout beau, du coup on recherches des gens pour nous aider a produire cette serie et continuer cette aventure de géant. "We need you!"

Voici un pitch que nous avons fait en janvier pour les laboratoires BOIRON.
Un pitch fait "Chez Eddy".
Le premier round comporte les versions plus désaturées.
Le deuxième round mettait en jeu le côté plus "famille".

Les references etaient Serge Blotch et Monsieur Supreme, nous vous conseillons d'aller jetter un oeil à leur site web :)

Le meilleur pour la fin, on est maintenant sur le site de Passion Pictures Londre dans les One To Watch, on croise les doigts :)

Here are some pictures made for a pitch in january. The pitch was made with "Chez Eddy".

There are both versions, the first round ( almost black&white ) and the second round which is more colorful.

The pitch was based on designer Serge Blotch and Monsieur Supreme, real must see.

Last but not least, we're now on the website of Passion Pictures on the One To Watch.

Visual Concept design for the last HP commercial of Smith & Foulkes for Nexus.
It's all about a journey from numeric to a paper world.
It was so much fun working on this project, that we wish we had more time
to work on it and developt it, there are so much things that could have been done.
That's sad that we don't really undestand this transition in the final result.
