During 3 years (2008-2011) i have been drawing 12 drawing of animation every day, it make one second of film. I had no plans what so ever before starting the first drawing. And then, each of the folowing days, I took the 3 last drawing from the day before and kept on animating. I use a none erasable pen, and drew on the back side of used A4 paper.

12 DESSINS PAR JOUR
Pendant 3 ans (2008-2011) j'ai fait 12 dessins d'animation chaque jour. Ce qui équivaut à une seconde de film. Je n'avais pas de plans précis quand j'ai fait le premier dessin. Puis, les jours suivant, je prenais les 3 derniers dessins de la veille et continuais à animer. J'ai utilisé un stylo non-effaçable et je dessinais au verso de feuilles A4 déjà utilisées.

i would like to know: did u use a light table?
peace
Denis Chapon 2 months ago

No, i didn't. I just flip the pages. The re-used paper would have confused me if i would draw on a light table. Plus, i drew a lot of these drawings while travelling and so, i don't carry a light table everywhere.

Violet Koncz 2 months ago

Wow this is fantastic!! I especially love that the background of the paper is seen through the drawings. Really puts the time and work that you put into this in perspective. And the best part to me is that you didn't really plan it out and it all worked out amazingly. Bravo!!

Extraordinaire! J'enseigne le multimédia à l'école secondaire (5) 15, 16, 17 ans. Certains élèves doivent réaliser un dessin animé. J'ai montré votre production admirable à tous afin de leur montrer ce que 12 grammes de volonté permettent d'accomplir. Félicitations! Le mot est faible.

this is a great piece of work.
how did you conceive of the soundtrack? it fitted so perfectly. that seems like as much work as the drawings...
Panic Productions 1 month ago

There's so much I liked about this: the varying styles and the recurring motifs, the intrigue of what was on the other side of the paper (comics, scripts, storyboards, who know what), the flights of fancy and the recording of daily reality, but most of all I simply enjoyed seeing the honest and direct work of someone who clearly loves to draw.
Bravo!
