TV Film “Amours fraternels” (Brotherly Love)

Creation of 3D bats for 4 shots.

We used 3D bats that we duplicated (up to 30 for flight sequences), animated and composited in the HD images so that they are perfectly integrated alongside the real bat specimens used when shooting.

Feature film teaser “Approved for adoption”

Protozoan assisted Francetelevision, project leaders, on the pre-production of the film, over several months.

We worked on early versions of the characters, defined the first graphic ideas and took care of all the 3D of this teaser which helped to raise research funding.

For confidentiality reasons we cannot show these items, but I invite you to go and see the official trailer for the film.

Director Laurent Boileau and Jung.

TV Film “Little Wenzhou”

The character bets his life on a dice-roll. As such, the dice needed to take a very precise route in this shot: pass very close to the camera while growing in an exaggerated way.
The shot was made without dice. We modeled the dice and created the animation of their movement so that they are consistent with the scene but at the same time also had a little bit of magic

TV Film “Tropiques amers” (Bitter Tropics)

Series of 6 52-minute episodes on the abolition of slavery in the West Indies. All boats appearing at sea were created in 3D then added to the actual scenes.
All shots having been taken with a hand-held camera, it was necessary to reconstruct the shots through tracking. Replicas of the boats of the time were modeled and textured. We have then reconstructed lighting on the site in 3D to be able to insert the boats into the scene.
Broadcast on FRANCE 3 in 2007.

Special effects for outdoor scenes. This fiction mini-series deals with young women married, against their will, to settlers to repopulate the Guyana in the 18th century. A douzen scenes require 3D superposition of boats on the sea. It was necessary to reconstruct the camera movements and lighting before you can insert it realistically in the shot. Broadcast on France 3 in May 2007.
