French Roast Production Blog
August 31, 2008 11:29 am
French animation studio BIBO Films is working on a new CG short called French Roast directed by Fabrice O. Joubert and with character designs by Nico Marlet. The short has a production blog—written in French but with lots of pics. The studio is also wrapping up its first feature—A Monster in Paris—directed by company founder Bibo Bergeron (co-director of Shark Tale and The Road to El Dorado). (Thanks, Matt Jones) |

Bravo Bibo & Co.!
The test renders look really cool. I’m a sucker for anything CG that has painted CG backgrounds though and the character design looks quite unique as well which is a nice change.
The character reference footage they acted out only the production blog was also very entertaining, they really nailed the eccentric old man shuffle.
Go France!
Amazing blog. I love the designs and the preproduction for this short. Can’t wait to see the finished short.
Great! It does look like Marlet’s design.
But i don’t think i’m wrong when i say that they are STARTING their feature, not wrapping up…
But….but…..it’s CG! Isnt that BAD!? (ahem)
Looks awesome!
