French sculptor Stéphane Halleux is trying his hand at animation. He’s created a digital character after one of his leather and scrap metal sculptures, Monsieur Hublot. I love how the character moves and look forward to seeing more.
Zelit Productions and Stéphane hope to develop the project into a feature-length film. In the meatime, a frame-sponsoring system is in place, allowing interested fans to take part in the short’s development at up to 9EU per frame. From the Monsieur Hublot website:
In exchange, among other things and depending on the amount of images sponsored, they will get updates on the film’s production, a print of one of their sponsored images signed by Stéphane Halleux, the opportunity to appear in the the credits, etc. As for ourselves, this quid pro quo will enable us to complete the financing of the short film and to prepare the release of the feature film.
