The assignment is to summarise a cult film in a one-minute animation. I chose Amélie.

structure

The film was edited to create a coherent one-minute storyline. This storyline focuses on two main themes: Amélie’s empathy and her encounter with Nino. Exporting this summary at six frames per second made it possible to redraw the sequence shots using the Procreate application.


style

The style used echoes the green and red colours that are omnipresent in the film. The drawings have a screen-printed look that recalls the timeless atmosphere of the film.


music

The film’s musical theme by Yann Tiersen is adapted to the rhythm of the animation and self-performed on the piano.
