40H SEMAINE

40H SEMAINE is a hybrid project between realism and imaginary that includes live action and cartoon sequences. I wanted to create a light and original road-movie while featuring the alter-ego of the artist MATIU, namely a bear who appears on the album cover, as well as his faithful dog Forest. The production of the project was divided into two parts. The first part consisted of shooting all the images with the artist Matiu, while the second part was focused on the drawings, effects and animation. In the end, we put it all together to get this hybrid project.
