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..
