AP200 is one of my most wonderful experiences! For the first time in the course of my studies, I had a chance to concentrate entirely on a ten-month project. Sébastien, Loïc, Benjamin and I were all motivated by a joint project: realizing a short film in 3D, mixing humor, deviousness, mangas and many winking references to our favorite films (Ghost In The Shell, Matrix, Blade (!), Star Wars, Street Fighter 2 ...) and much more ... An additional motivation was that this kind of manga implementation was something unheard of at our school. In this respect, a certain gap opened up between us and the majority of our professors (who said themselves that they neither knew nor liked this kind of culture very well). For me, the film was a chance to carry out scripting and editing work in a very thorough way (in comparison with my previous work during my art training). This was also my first experience with group work, with the discovery of the advantages and disadvantages that this entails.
But it all ended the way it began: very well, although somewhat tired—there was a certain lack of sleep evident in the final months!
In short—it was very enriching!
One of the happiest days of my life will undoubtedly remain the one of the jury at the end of the year: over 400 people (family, friends, professionals) and standing ovations that kept us rooted in place (as though we were not already excited enough)—terrible!
In conclusion, I would like to thank Nicolas Bouvier, who gave me good advice several times during my practical training at DarkWorks (Alone in The Dark 4) for my character design in AP2000, and I would also like to take this opportunity to say to the other members of the AP2000 team: friends, it was cool ... I really enjoyed working with you! That is something you can depend on, I think!
For John, Seb, Benj and everyone, who supported us?!"
