A group of French animation students at the school Gobelins have started a blog documenting the production of their animated short PYRATS, which once completed, will be used as a signal film for next year’s Annecy Animation Festival. Different teams of Gobelins animation students produce brilliant signal films for the festival every year; we’ve mentioned some of those shorts here before, like LE BUILDING and SUPER TIBETAN RACER. To view all the Annecy signal films produced at the school between 2002-2005 (as well as another recent student short, the very funny LIONEL) check out this gallery page at the Gobelins school website.
