A headlong rush to success
Directed by Maxime Crançon, Fanny Vecchie, Margaux Lutz, Romain Fleischer, Alexis Le Ral, Grégory Bouzid, Robin Delaporte and Mattéo Durant, the short film TRASH has impressed audiences since its very first screening. The film has made a lasting impression with its frenetic pace and unique aesthetic, and this latest SIGGRAPH award is the crowning glory of an already award-winning career.
An alley, a slice of pizza… and a war without mercy
The pitch is as simple as it is effective: in a dark alley, a skinny rat has no choice but to fight a pigeon for a small slice of pizza. The tension is ratcheted up a notch as they embark on a dizzying chase, bouncing up and down the street, between urban obstacles and bizarre situations. The duel is served up by fluid animation.
SIGGRAPH: a global benchmark for success
SIGGRAPH (Special Interest Group on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques) is the world’s largest conference dedicated to digital animation, visual effects, virtual reality and interactive innovations. Every year, professionals from all over the world (studios, artists, researchers) come together to share their advances and discover the talents of tomorrow. The Best in Show award is the highest distinction awarded to a student film at the Computer Animation Festival, a rare and precious accolade.
A huge well done to the makers of TRASH!
The entire ESMA team would like to offer its sincerest congratulations to the TRASH team, whose creativity and technical mastery command admiration. And judging by its growing impact, one thing is certain: TRASH has not finished astonishing us!
