Director's statement
The movie L’abattu des vents is our graduation film from the arts and science of the animation bachelor’s degree at Laval university. This is our second short movie as a team. The movie is inspired a lot by The Lighthouse from Robert Eggers. This work was a common reference that allowed us to develop as far as possible the search for a particular aesthetic and atmosphere. The five of us had the vision of a computer generated movie with a stop-motion look. This translated into a clay puppet-looking character living in realistic environments. The animation is fluid, but the expression changes are jerky, reminding those of stop-motion animation. The movie was entirely produced remotely.
