Waching daily Sep 1 2017

Hello. My name is Fabrice Nzinzi.

I've worked at Ankama for about 9 years now

and I've had the opportunity to be in charge of quite a few graphical projects.

For Wakfu Season 3, I am the director.

Directing is, generally speaking...

It's managing the graphic and technical teams to successfully complete

an audiovisual project, for example Wakfu Season 3.

So in order to give good graphical and technical direction

at the beginning of the project, in the pre-production phase

it was important for me to propose what is commonly referred to

in the animation sector as storyboards:

graphic references, references for the background, scenery, or characters.

In this scene, it was important to me, for the dramatic aspect

and for the staging that the decor gives

a symbolic idea of what's happening in the scene.

So this image, this quick reference I did,

It was really important to me

to give an impression of autumn. So to give a certain

form of melancholy. You can also see the design

of Amalia and even the other Sadidas in this scene

it was important to desaturate, to just slightly change the color of their hair

which in Seasons One and Two was normally a rather flashy green.

The idea was to give the characters that same autumn tone.

So these are examples of images produced in pre-production

that I made to lead the design teams, who will

later redo the images; improve them, 'boost' them...

They're just ideas. They're improved later.

Another example is the character we see in this scene, Aurora

Who is Armand's future wife.

And in terms of transmedia, while reading the script,

she didn't have much of a story, much of a BG.

(BG is what we call the background)

So I thought it would be interesting to use a character

that we saw in Season 2, specifically the daughter of the Osamodas king.

So you can see that here it's the Season 2 design

with her father the king. There you go.

I proposed a rapid sketch that showed what she would become

as a woman, and show a character

who evolves with time, who grows up and becomes a woman, a sexy femme fatale.

But also, to keep in the scene's dramatic tonality

I added photo references of autumnal dresses

to tell the design team that this would be interesting

It's not to validate this one - she's different

but to find a dress design that

says autumn to fit the melancholic mood of the scene.

This scene's important. It's the first time

we see Amalia again, so we quickly understand

that she's matured, grown,

and that she seems tormented.

So I'm not going to spoil it, but this scene is important to

better understand the problems she'll endure this season.

So it was important that the decor and design

and scene layout express these dramatic problems.

So the idea of the dead leaves is to

underline that autumn touch, that melancholy.

We can clearly see that she's tormented and thoughtful.

And the peculiarity of this scene is also

the breakup between her and her big brother Armand seems

even more evident. They don't look at each other, don't talk...

and we have this new character named Aurora,

who's a bit of a mediator and a seductress

and we really understand that deep down

she's a manipulator, and that maybe she's not there

just for the good of the Sadida kingdom.

So for example, this hand-holding, her neck being visible

I mean, her head tilted. Also, she hides her eye

she doesn't show both eyes. So there's something simultaneously seductive

and evasive, and with nothing but the way she acts

we can really tell a story.

So I was saying before that this is a

tragi-comic scene, which is sort of Ankama's specialty.

We have a tendency to like to push the drama, then bring it back down

with a comic element, and it really shows in this scene.

So we start with something melancholy and intriguing

we feel it's a bit heavy, a bit weighty, and then finally

we have Ashdur who arrives, who steps in

who's a deliberately comic character

to bring down the drama of the scene somewhat and add a touch of humor.

So to lead the design team and the scene layout

I gave existing references:

"GTO, Nicky Larson and Arnold Schwarzenegger"

and also "hipsters", so when you see the scene

you'll really feel his character's got class, and is also

really ridiculous, which is sort of Ankama's trademark.

We like to play with epic scenes, humorous scenes

and mix the two.

That's why this scene is, for me, fairly

emblematic of what's going to happen and what's going on

in Season 3. This game that we saw a lot of in

Seasons 1 and 2, which is to say an overall comical aspect

but without hesitation to delve into melancholy

some drama, and to have fluid characters. There's not really

a big bad guy, nor a big hero

just characters who have priorities, interests

and for me this scene will let you quickly see that. It gives a lot

of clues about the story we're about to tell.

Otherwise, the greatest challenge as a director is to be

consistent with the technical and graphical direction

the scene layout and the overall drama of the season.

Seeing as how I work on thirteen episodes at the same time

it's very important to keep my concentration and above all

staying focused on the information I have to give

at a key moment is really hard, because

it makes you feel a bit schizophrenic, checking

everything at once. The thing is that the

the teams are concentrating on their missions at any given time

and it's always in the chronological order of episodes

while for me, since the teams are out of sync,

I have to work on all the episodes at once.

On the one hand, it helps you stay consistent but

it also causes difficulties in managing

the teams, and even keeping yourself consistent.

So for me the biggest challenge is staying

coherent and respecting the previous steps and then

the steps that come later.

The Dofus film was quite a learning experience for all the teams

it made us comfortable in our technical direction, but it also

taught us to go even further, because

making a movie is a log like making a

series, but it demands quite a lot more, because

the image is so much bigger. So that experience

from a personal point of view, and within the teams

I'm sure that allowed us to go further in the end

graphically speaking. You'll see that Season 3 is

I think, much more beautiful than Seasons 1 and 2

Everyone leveled up

and I hope you'll enjoy it.

Bye bye!

UCLA - Story of SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY // U2 - Duration: 2:29.

You are minding if I know Dubblin ? Of course, buddy, I know Dublin!

Dublin, it's Irland Irland, it's U2

U2, it's nevertheless "Sunday Bloddy Sunday"!

Back in 83,

It's on the "War" album.

The song refers to 2 events

named "Bloody Sunday".

2 blood baths ...

and a song not really subject to pogot.

The 1st: it's a pacific manifestation in 72.

We are in the midst of a conflict in Northern Ireland.

The population is opposed to the British presence.

The 2nd, it is a drama in 1920, the British army opened fire

during a Gaelic soccer event.

Sunday are really not their lucky days by the way!

So, watch out, it's the guitarist of the band, The Edge who wrote this song

At the period, the guy is depressed by his ability to compose music.

And just banged up with his girlfriend.

Yes, it's inspire by his disgust for himself.

In the first version, The Edge will tackle the UDA.

A paramilitary organization.

Then it's just missing Crypto-gay and Jewish plot.

Grand Slam !

And it's not a Dan Brown character.

So those are the ones who support the English

and who is opposed to IRA.

Well, after reflection the group said, "we may be taking a bullet".

The singer Bono changes the lyrics.

Take a step back and evoke the fact that violence results in violence.

So, he is still less courageous Than John Lennon.

John Lennon who wrote 2 songs about The Bloody Sundays of 72.

with even official support from the IRA.

At the end of the track, Bono goes so far as he paraphrases the gospel.

Declaring, I quote:

"Victorious Jesus Winner on the bloody Sunday. "

And yes, because Jesus is the common bond between

Catholics and Irish Protestants.

Guinness could also have been cited.

But it was a bit more expensive in product placement.

In the song, The snare drum makes this military rhythm,

It was recorded at the bottom of a staircase for natural reverberation.

You did not know that!

And thanks to a violinist met at a bus stop

That The Edge had the idea to integrate a violin in this track.

Yes it's very good, It is very well this one!

But you know, when they made the following of Sunday

It was "Sunny Monday" (a famous Claude François song)

Much more positive It was a lot more fun!

[ ♫ Le lundi au soleil ... ♫ ]

You already see it sounds more solar!

You, it's a little ... it plumbs
