We had to create a 1 minute animation movie in cut paper. We were required to exploit the characteristics of paper and were free with the graphic design, scenario...
We had to present an initial written presentation of the film in front of a jury of teachers. Half of the class's projects were accepted.Therefore the students whose projects weren't chosen had to work with the students whose projects were. Mine was chosen.
I chose to work with the archetypal characters of the "Film noir" genre, the mysterious man wearing a raincoat, and the "femme fatale" with high heels and an evening dress. I wanted to study the act of seduction between the two characters.
I would to work in black and white, with flat expanses of colour, with the expression of light and shade as the only means of interpreting the image. 

We animated with cut paper, frame by frame, over 3 days.
I created all the images of the film, and my coworker all the sound effects. We worked with Victor Berard for the soundtrack.
