Student films have come along way since my day.

Our friend “DeK” has just posted this little gem by three students of the CSC, Italy’s national film school. Based on a poem with the same name written by Jacques Prévert, Page d’ecriture (”Writing Sheet”) uses hand drawn and CG to illustrate what happens when a bored child in class dreams of being free as a bird.

The filmmakers — Filippo Giacommelli, co-director, co-art director, script writer and 3D animator; Fabio Tonetto co-director, co-art director and 2D animator; and Juan Correa Diaz co-director and technical director — also have a great production blog.

    I believe that’s the first time I’ve seen 2D and 3D animation mixed substantially like that. The only other example that comes close is the 2D ghosts in Nightmare Before Christmas. I like the effect!

    Come to think of it, we haven’t seen an animation/live-action hybrid in quite some time (Roger Rabbit? Cool World? Amelie?) I wonder if this could be a glimpse of things to come. Good job FG, FT and JCD!

    Hi. To second what Giacomelli said, thank you so much for the post. It’s like a dream come true.

    p.s. The last sentence, it’s a little bit in Disney’s way..

  • COMMENT OF THE MOMENT

    "I just saw [$9.99] in the Holland animation festival. It is one of the best animated films that I’ve ever seen! I don’t talk about animation (because animation, and etc. are things that I’m not interested in). The design is good enough not to tease you. But the literature, the script, and the cinema in this film are fantastic. Made me think about one of my favorite all time movies “Smoke”. Yes, this film is a full Auster-esque experience. Smart and witty! It has to be nominated for an Oscar!"
    – Theodore Ushev
    "$9.99"
