GIFASTIC SPOTLIGHT #2 : MARIE DE DURAT

@gifastic is an animation collective created by @matthieu-fouquet & @thevipersnake. The group is formed by 16 members, and you will discover them one by one with GIFASTIC SPOTLIGHT !

All the gifs above are made by Marie de Durat for Gifastic

You can follow her here :

tumblr : @billandashley ___________________ MARIE’S INTERVIEW :

Spotlight : Can you introduce yourself ?

Marie : Hola !  My name is Marie de Durat, I’m 22. I’m currently in fourth year at Georges Méliès school next to Paris. I am working on my graduation movie, « HERO » with four fabulous friends ☆

Spotlight : What do you think about Gifastic and what did it brings you ?

Marie : Mathieu and Arthur had a very good idea bringing Gifastic to life, thanks guys for creating it ! It’s very positive to reunite students from all over the world by their own initiative. Gifastic has been a breath of fresh air for me. I haven’t done a lot of animation during my studies (working more on vis dev, character design and background for student film) and when I was doing animation exercise for school, it always seemed so difficult, the simplest things were becoming complicated. For Gifastic, we can do just anything we want, simple or more sophisticated. So I relied more on my intuition, loved it, and I learned mostly thanks to this. It has been kind of a revelation. It’s also a really fun way of thinking « Okay I have this theme, theses colours and only 3 seconds. What kind of story I can tell? » Spotlight : Can you talk about your inspirations ?

Marie : I just got to many  and it changes a lot so I’m gonna talk about the ones that comes in my mind right now  (in a couple of hours, I’m gonna be such a  frustrated shit because I didn’t talk about this artist or this one, but I can’t mention everyone anyway !) First, the God of Gods : Taiyo Matsumoto. I discovered him more precisely this year, and everything in his art is just so sensible and humanly accurate. His habit to put life’s « insignifiant » little details in his stories makes it real and relatable. And it’s visually astonishing (I had to read 3 times the first book of samurai bamboo before being able to follow the story because I had tears in my eyes seeing something so beautiful.). Also there is Masaki Yuasa of course, the work of Studio 4°C, a lot of painters but I can’t name them all so go check the tumblr « Master Painters ». Zilai Feng, Jean Paul Léon, Victoria Antolini , the work of Jenerally drawing, Yoshitaka Amano, Robert Valley, especially his sketches, Gigi Cavenago, Jia Youfu, the illustrator Arx lee, the work of Alex Rimbault is also super funny, Rickey tickey sketches, Mikkel Sommer… Music to, especially hip hop. But the best inspirations are outside, in the streets, at your school … (I know it sounds like a microwaved generic sentence but it’s true!) Sketching people outside is the thing that I like the most, and the best inspiration I ever found. It’s quite incredible how drawing is seen as something positive or reassuring by people. Sometimes it opens the door to a little chat with this stranger you draw, and that social aspect is something I cherish. Spotlight :  What would you say to someone who wants to get into animation ?

Marie : Just to say, I only have a student experience so my vision can be not complete compared to someone who is working in the animation industry since years So if someone tells me he wants that, it’s cool, go for it ! It’s mostly a passion job, so it’s a chance! As Neil said, go for it ! When someone comes and talk to me about getting into animation, I heard a lot of « I’m afraid, I heard that you have to work really really hard, sacrifying a lot of stuff, your spare time, health, family… ». I think it’s possible to keep all of this, having a normal schedule, and work in animation.  Personally I draw a lot, it takes me most of my time, but it is my choice, because I love it, drawing is my work and hobby. But, don’t be afraid, it’s absolutely not an obligation to give all your time to drawing/animation. And more, it’s important to keep time for other stuffs so you don’t turn crazy. Also I would tell : keep being sincere in your work, and keep the fun ! And remember all the time that everyone has different taste about drawing, and inspiration. Even if one day you may have heard someone say “this style is lame/mainstream/…”, don’t be afraid, everyone is different, as long as you are sincere with what you do. When you do something you like, it’s sweat out your work, and you do better stuff  (It’s a little negative detail but in general everyone is really nice in animation ! AND !  Don’t hesitate to try different things! It’s more fun to use the creative opportunities and ideas your brain gives you ! You can find this way some new  technics, thematics that will follow you during your career. ___________________ Gifastic Spotlight #1 : Neil Ingle HERE ! Find all Gifastic episodes HERE !

Ok I really wanted to get some stuff off my chest so I decided to write a post Japan Expo post (post japan expost mdr lol)

You can’t even imagine how excited I was for this convention to happen. Last year, I met so many great persons (cc @mikolasone que je tague dès maintenant) and it was my first convention, so I felt really nervous!! But I waited since last year for this second japan expo to happen; and i was next to my wonderful friends @noemiebevierre and @yopo-nyo so it sure was a blast. I think I’ve never been that tired though, I even bought a coffee today or otherwise I’d be dead??? even though i hate it (merci à @eilann d’avoir fait de la pub pour les capuccino starbucks du coup) But I still have so many good memories in my mind so everything is fine~

Here is all the amazing stuff I got from the convention, when I took the picture yesterday I stared at everything for so long aaaaaa, I didn’t think I’d say that but I’m so happy I spent so many money on those

HERE COME THE HUGE CREDIT PART NOW: thank you SO MUCH to: @ngoc-ha, @pinkgermy, @stellaenowa, @phloxart, @looveelart, @sunshunes, @derararara, @nohaijiachi, @lisagrossbourgeois, @offblaster, @juliettebrocal, @yopo-nyo, @shizu-yume, @lepagemegane, @nathanaelsonn, @mai-col, @billandashley, @mecccchi, @svndvn, @na-thusius, @blackeraser, @lookforthehunter, @lichenslumber, @noemiebevierre, @eilann, and all the persons from the booths I didn’t have the time to pass by/buy stuff (désolé aaaaaaa), I’d love to write a personal message for everyone involved in this but that would take centuries ;;;v;;; 

Also thank you so much for the support of the person that passed by our booth and said nice things to us!!!!!! You offered so much motivation despite the lack of sleep!! I loved talking to everyone about everything! I will be sharing those memories for centuries~

Now let’s go back to work, and see you next year for sure!!! “There's an awful lot of awful things we could be thinking of But for just one day, let's only think about love!” -Steven Universe
