Cédric De Smedt - Nouveaux clips en animation

<p> Hi !  </p> <p>  </p> <p> It’s been about 3 years since my first 2D animation clip was released on <strong>Youtube</strong>. It concerned the <strong>official clip</strong> realized for the title "<em>Pleasures</em>", which resulted from the close collaboration between <strong>Max Cooper</strong> and <strong>BRAIDS</strong>. This experience has taught me a lot and made me want to keep exploring video clip as a medium.   </p> <p>  </p> <p> The clip released in 2012:    </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="304" src="//cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2F_WnYHGnIlg4%3Fwmode%3Dopaque%26feature%3Doembed&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D_WnYHGnIlg4&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F_WnYHGnIlg4%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=ff2702755d9749cda571c6d6c2f3eb46&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="540"></iframe></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> In the meantime, I’ve achieved my <strong>illustration</strong> studies in at the <em>Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts de Bruxelles</em> (that is in fact this very clip that allowed me to enter the school). I have come a long way in the research of my <strong>artistic universe</strong>, kept on telling <strong>stories</strong>, dark, sometimes weird, through engraving, painting and writing.</p> <p>  </p> <p> I did all of this without having the opportunity (and mostly the time) to realize another animation clip.</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Corpsmixterouges-22-1433099927" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/204841/corpsmixterouges-22-1433099927.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Today</strong>, I finally have some time along with a real and intense desire to realize new clips for other artists and this time in <strong>3D animation</strong>. I’ve been practising the 3D for a little less than a year, gradually mastering the tools and storing new crazy ideas in my head.  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <em>So why are all these ideas not yet on your screens?</em></p> <p>  </p> <p> Because my computer has become <strong>obsolete</strong> and the render time has become too long (for each 3D image, you need a render time that varies according to the desired image quality).   </p> <p>  </p> <p> This is why I call on you and your donations.  </p> <p> Every single Euro will be invested in new IT equipment and in a new much more <strong>powerful</strong> <strong>computer</strong> that is intended to become a real <strong>clip factory</strong>.   </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Plan7_1409-1433100014" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/204842/plan7_1409-1433100014.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> For that matter, I took this opportunity to produce a new <strong>3D mini clip</strong> and show you what I am capable of.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="304" src="//cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FmhwxSm4DME4%3Fwmode%3Dopaque&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DmhwxSm4DME4&amp;image=http%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FmhwxSm4DME4%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=ff2702755d9749cda571c6d6c2f3eb46&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="540"></iframe></p> <p>  </p> <p> Realizing clips is a true passion and I can’t stop wanting to make more. I am confident that this new computer will allow me to <strong>express myself</strong> the way I want to as well as to offer you all sorts of <strong>visual pleasures</strong>.    </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong><u>A few lines about my work</u></strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> My work mostly focuses on the <strong>human being</strong>: its body, its mind, its actions, its psychological and physical functioning. As I am evolving in a dark and hardly reassuring environment, I highlight many different facets of the human being. I enjoy <strong>playing</strong> with whatever it <em>hides</em> and <em>shows</em>, what comes <em>in</em> and <em>out</em>, what it <em>contains</em> and what <em>surrounds</em> it, what <em>inhabits</em> and <em>masks</em> it, what it’s trying to <em>become</em> and what <em>remains</em>. Each of my drawings is a <strong>rejection</strong> to better identify what haunts me.   </p> <p>  </p> <p> <em><strong>Are you who you’re pretending to be? Am I as dark as my own drawings?</strong></em></p> <p>  </p> <p> Probably not and this is the essence of that <strong>relationship</strong> that comes into being between <strong>your look</strong> and <strong>my work.</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> You’ll find most of my illustrations here: <a href="http://cokedenverslip.tumblr.com" target="_blank">http://cokedenverslip.tumblr.com</a></p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Visage666-1433619003" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/207110/VISAGE666-1433619003.jpg"></p>
