Straight from the vault

Ok, we admit it, It´s been way too long since last time we posted anything. Good news is we´ve been very busy working; bad news we can´t show anything yet but we promise that when the time comes we´ll be happy to share with you all the new material.

We thought perhaps was the perfect time to share some old work. We know it´s lame but at the same time we have tons of art research from “Nocturna” that we never had the chance to show. The movie came out in 2007 and as only a hand full of people watched it (that includes our families) maybe all this material comes as new to some.

We directed and art directed the movie and as always we had Julien Bizat making the character design look good.

  1. I saw Nocturna for the first time at Anima in Brussels when it came out. It has been a favourite of ours ever since. I think we rent it every couple of months. I haven't come across it in any store here however, otherwise i would certainly buy it.
    awesome film!

  6. This film deserves more. I remember when the film was released in Paris it was a shame I couldn`t watch it because it stayed 1 week in 2 theaters.
    I loved the animation and designs! Great work guys this is a unique style

  13. I was blown away by the graphical style! The animation and colors are fantastic! It feld like reading a french comic book. If there where only more animation movies like this...I add's the art out of french comic books into animation.

    But I did find moka a "dull" character. He could have been more interesting.

  14. Nocturna is a lovely movie. Ever since I saw it it has been one of my all time favs. Luscious animation, wonderful characters, and a breath of fresh air in the fantasy genre. Not a cliche concept in sight. Truly underrated. It belongs on the shelf of every fantasy or animation fan.
