Eddy director Olivier Lescot draws inspiration from Hollywood westerns, graphic novels, and classic manga into a new personal film he describes as “an exploration of immersive camera movement capturing all the essence of pure action.”
Olivier Lescot: “By starting with the animation of the character, we make sure the movement will be the one we want. Only when that works do we add the elements of the scenery around the main animation.
“These enhance the sense of 3D space in the shot by establishing references for different depths of field. I find that the creation of volumes and the illusion of space facilitate the immersion of the spectator.
“It’s also a very smooth and simple way to create stylish camera movements. The goal is to make something vibrant and to make the viewer share the pleasure we took in making this film.”
The Rift is a piece of a longer format project currently in development.
