This 8'30'' animated shortfilm which is a mix with a live actor, an animated puppet and visual effects (2D and 3D) needed 5 months of shooting and an HD postproduction between Sapristi Studio and 3xPlus studio (Paris).
Sapristi Studio did the main title and an T-Shirt animation (the 3D was done on Softimage XSI and the compositing with After Effects).
