Meet Meline

Friday, April 2nd, 2010 | Posted by Matt McCorkell

Not all cg has to be monsters, babes, and explosions. In fact some of the best animated shorts that linger in our consciousness are those that express a kind of warmth for the characters and a sense of exploration throughout the story.  Virginie Goyons and Sebastien Laban have created an animated adventure of wonder and beauty without a huge list of modelers, animators, and render artists. Even more surprisingly they have accomplished all of this without a budget!

Meet Meline is a story of a girl whose curiosity is aroused when she encounters a mysterious animal while playing within her grandparents barn. The making of video includes interviews, behind the scenes footage and the artwork from Meet Meline.

    I have the same opinion, the animation, lighting, etc was really nice and smooth, but the story didn’t appealed to me as i was expecting. Nevertheless, good work.

    That was stunning to look at. Very atmospheric. I would have liked it more if nothing had been given away as to what the creature was. The only thing that I thought was a teeny bit strange was that the camera also behaved like the POV of the creature even when it seemed to be just in the scene. I’m being REALLY picky, though. Very nice work.
