WORDS TO SAVOR
Client: Restaurant Hélou
Team: Solo
Softwares: Blender, Ebsynth, After Effects
In 2022, I became interested in our eating habits, the restrictions that influence them, ecology, the responsibility of our actions, but also the pleasure of eating. What was certain for me was that eating responsibly could also mean having fun.
That's how I came up with this project, to try out a format in which I would interview people who are doing their bit to fill our plates with pleasure, responsibly and in a spirit of solidarity.
So I contacted the owners of Hélou, a vegetarian restaurant until 2023, to arrange an interview and talk about their way of doing things.
This project was an opportunity for me to experiment and develop a technique mixing 3D and compositing to obtain a unique rendering, somewhere between 3D and painting.
I had to find efficient methods to produce the seven minutes of video in time.
My ambition was to transcribe the visual universe of the restaurant into the settings, which my 3D character explores, like a culinary voyage, as the interview progresses.

IMAGES DU RESTAURANT
The visual richness of the fruits and vegetables and the meticulous attention to the presentation of their dishes were the starting points for the graphic universe.
premières recherches
After some illustrated research, I quickly decided to continue using 3D as the basis for my work, for reasons of production speed.
TECHNICAL RESEARCHES
3D MESHES vs FINAL RESULT
This rendering is achieved using 3D (Blender) and heavy compositing to transform these images into veritable moving paintings.
