Once a pipe dream, the idea of a federal film subsidy now seems like a real possibility:

• California Sen. Adam Schiff is working on introducing an incentive bill in Congress

• “We have a lot of our influence around the world as a result of American film and TV,” Schiff says. “We don’t want to lose that soft power.”

@TheCartoonBase This is a joke guys, cartoonists don’t have Zazlov money. But I do wish SOMEONE who actually loved animation and didn’t just want to scrap these beloved iconic brands for tax write offs would protect them from these horrifying mergers

[Ryan O'Loughlin @olocco]

I love these filmmakers! ❤️❤️❤️

[THE LINE @thelinestudio]

Now feels more important than ever to imagine a brighter future.

Five years ago, we released ‘Dear Alice’. An encapsulation of a Solarpunk future for Chobani.

Even all these years later, we still get tagged in repurposed content for this by the Solarpunk community!

Unlike Cyberpunk or Steampunk, Solarpunk envisions a future that you'd actually probably quite like to live in! It's not intended to be just an aesthetic, but a political movement towards a brighter and greener future.

Our short depicts humans, animals and nature all living and working harmoniously with non-invasive technology. It's a world where technology is used to enhance tried-and-true farming practices rather than to replace them with something that degrades nature. Solarpunk doesn't mean everyone has to live on a farm. Civilisations can still exist, and if you look closely, the buildings in the city incorporate greenery to bring nature to brick-and-mortar.

The central focus is on a woman narrating a letter written by a grandmother to her granddaughter about how she wants to leave behind a more sustainable future for her. It’s a nostalgic look towards a new era of agriculture, with beautifully crafted backgrounds, delicate animation and a completely unique score by long-time Ghibli composer (and absolute legend) Joe Hisaishi.

i wanted to tell you how we made the visuals for nerve-bloom
i did it with Natalia Kleszczewska and Natalie Liu .

Natalia Kleszczewska is a painter , she painted the creatures and the backgrounds .
Natalie Liu is a computer graphics director , she shaped the digital dimension of the work .
my role in it was a creative director , bringing in the singer-songwriter tradition , where emotionally precise things happen inside the structure of a song . i guided colour pallettes , textures and the environments the music happens in .
to make this possible , during the process , natalia often had to paint many shapes and sizes , different textures and layers of colours . natalie then developed the visuals, designing and overseeing CGI elements , and finding ways for the digital to sit organically alongside Natalia’s world . and include my dramaturgy and creative direction.
we spent 7 months talking and working together , dedicated to relish in the craft of blending hand-made visuals with digital experimentation , 3D design and commit it to physical display technology . a lot of time was spent on researching different tools and techniques to find what worked best at each stage in the song .
like i’ve done before , i wanted to merge old things with tech , giving it soul & a meaning .
to paint a painting is an analog craft but computer programming is craftmanship too !! and both can co-exist ,
.....encouraging each other to bloom even further towards a mutual world .

there is a tradition in pop music for the mucisian to choose a video director . in the art world , this is called “curation” , but where we came from , it was natural that the musician would have strong opinions on what your song needed , which mood , colours , textures & storyline . today this is called “creative director” and it is something we didn’t credit ourselves with in the 90s , but i am starting to understand this better now .

i don´t think of me as a visual artist . because my heart is music . everything i do comes from a sonic point of view .
this is something i have called “sonic symbolism” , sound made visual , a reverse synesthesia .

when you listen to a song for the first time , it is like swallowing a whale , you need to feel the whole musical sculpture in one go .
the structure of a song has always been extremely important to me : what shape it is .
this is part of the craft of being a singer-songwriter

........... we are tune sculpturors .......

since i am talking about the visuals for nerve bloom it is impossible to not mention the avatars in my music videos .
they have replaced the storyteller with anattempt to connect to the more universal element of music , through animation, avatars , puppetry both digital and analog .
for me they are marionettes in a puppet-theatre , hopefully in a similar realm as the jungian archetypes
( which we all can act out the characteristics of ...)

.... i feel nerve-bloom is a natural continuation ....

an animated avatar archetype

singing you a song

Today I turn 30 🎂

But before I get old…

For the past 7 months, I’ve been sharing content centered around animation, and somehow it’s grown into this beautiful little community.

So I wanted to make a small love letter to my city. My home🇫🇷
