Any Witch Way

Any Witch Way by Sabrina Denault, graduate from Cégep du Vieux Montreal in 3D Animation and CGI.

Who?
Sabrina Denault is a French Canadian freshly graduated from college in a 3D animation and CGI program of three years (2011-2014).

Sabrina began to write stories and draw at a very young age. She was always trying to reproduce characters appearing on the television. She spent most of her childhood in front a pile of white sheets with a simple graphite pencil to express herself.

She combined her two passions and wrote her first illustrated book at the age of sixteen years old. It was published a year later. Now, she is the writer and illustrator of two children books of the same collection.

When Sabrina was accepted in college in 3D animation, she discovered a passion for this world. For her, it was the best of both worlds between art and technology.

Now, she is starting in the job market as a 3D artist.

Sabrina discusses her short film ‘Any Witch Way’ below…

What?
This is the story of a blind witch named Arsénie. She is concocting a magic potion with the help of her loyal companion Sulfurin, a small creature from the woods. They both are very enthusiast that this healing recipe would deliver Arsénie from her blindness. The witch swallows the mysterious mixture. She cannot believe her eyes, the potion worked! But each medicine has their side effects…

Why?
This is a student short film. My main inspiration was Pixar films (witch character from Brave) and short movie Zing. I had also a book inspiration: Winnie the Witch (from my chilhood).

How?
The short is 3D Animation created using Maya, After Effetcs, Premiere and Photoshop)

Next Project?
My next project is to be hired as a 3D artist in a company!

Which animated film would you like to have made?
This is a hard and original question. I wish I would have made Ratatouille from Pixar!
