OBEN

Who?
We are 4 directors and students of EMCA (french animation school): Noé Giuliani, Pierre Ledain, Thierno Bah and David Martins da Silva.

What?
The story of a mountain climber fighting for life history.

Why?
Of course, we have some references, but we tried not to be influenced too much, and to stand out by a strong graphic style by merging our own four.

How?
The work was divided naturally, according to our skills. We worked on the backgrounds in Photoshop, TVPaint for animation and After Effects for compositing.

Next Projects?
We are heading towards different directions, but we intend to work again together and are already working on new projects.

Which animated movie would you like to have made​​?
It’s hard to choose but we love in another style “Out of sight” by Ya-Ting Yu, Ya-Hsuan Yeh, and Chung Ling. We enjoyed “Countdown” by Celine Desrumaux. But these are only two short films among many others!
