I had the pleasure of supervising the animation created by the wonderful team at Walking the Dog (Brussels) during the first year of production. We experimented with edited rotoscoping to take advantage of the directed live-action footage. By removing enough detailed movements we were able to create animation that isn't as “floaty” as you normally see at rotoscoped films. We retained a strong reference for the animators while preserving the freedom of adding and removing movements like in traditional animation.
I'm happy to share that the film 'A Magnificent Life of Marcel Pagnol', a film directed by Sylvain Chomet will be screened on several festivals:
