Raymond
Definitely my favorite short from the Electronic Theater
Raymond is the story of a lowly swimming instructor from Douche Les Mines and his quest, with the help of some fantasy science to achieve his dream - to swim with the whales. The film was created as a combination of live action and 3D animation. The main area created in 3D was that of Raymond's laboratory re-programming, and it is here where Bif were able to display their very unique style of character animation. Raymond is put through his paces, he's a table top footballer, he runs like no man before him and he dances like a Jackson. The other area that the Mill believes their Bif team have truly excelled is the look of the film. It's a combination of very cool stylization and photorealism, giving the final film a very sophisticated look
Created by French trio BIF, Raymond is probably the funiest short I've seen at the Siggraph 2007 Electronic Theatre screening. Proving once again that Supinfocom generates consistently brilliant graduates, Jules, Fabrice and Francois now work in London creating visual effects at The Mill.
