Nostalgia… Rebellion, or How It All Began…

• A class project, back when I was still at Atelier de Sèvres, themed around “the city.”
• Preferred medium: painting, but I was allowed to choose video.
• Initial idea: absolutely none!

So, I grabbed my camera and went out into the city with no specific goal in mind. I walked past a street sign — a simple pedestrian crossing sign, like the ones you see every day. And that’s when a small idea hit me. Sometimes, getting out there really helps! I rushed back home to bring it to life and animated my first sign! I was so proud — I had just made the first sequence of my (very) short film.
