    The most gorgeously realized independent 3D animation in years, this project from 6 students at France's acclaimed Ecole MoPa revels in the delightful play of the frogs, only to cleverly reveal the subtext of their frolic.

    GARDEN PARTY
    A Film by ILLOGIC
    www.bloompictures.tv/
    "On paper, the synopsis to Garden Party seems ridiculous, but in reality it’s a stroke of genius as rewarding as the gorgeous animation the film is presented in. Essentially a hilarious romp featuring a group of inquisitive, accident-prone amphibians, this 7-minute short avoids hopping down the path of saccharine sweet anthropomorphism (we see all too much in animation) by blending its delicious dark subplot into proceedings. It’s a move that really lifts this short above and beyond a lot of the other films we see in the genre.
    Though the clever, unfolding plot was my own personal highlight of Garden Party, it would seem neglectful to gloss over that glorious aesthetic without mentioning it in more detail. From that meticulous opening shot of the frog gliding through the debris-filled pool to that incredibly textured frog rising from the plate of oyster shells, it’s the attention to detail here that truly impresses. It’s not only the frogs that are the carefully considered characters in the design though, the location feels as much of a player in the storyline as any of our long-legged protagonists and if anything it’s the conscientious depictions of the backgrounds that add that extra level to both the aesthetic and that compelling subplot.
    Screened in the ‘Horror: Thrilling and Chilling’ programme at this year’s Encounters festival (where it was easily the stand-out film of the session), Garden Party has been impressing audiences and juries at festival worldwide throughout 2016 & 2017. Winner of the ‘Best Graduate Short’ at GLAS Animation Festival, ‘Best Student Project’ at Siggraph and a ‘Special Jury Mention’ at Clermont-Ferrand, this is undoubtedly one of the best independent 3D animation’s we’ve encountered in sometime." - S/W Curator Rob Munday

      This is the quality we would be consistently seeing in theaters if the animation industry hadn't devolved into a corporate circlejerk that sees movies as products to be watered down so they can appeal to as broad an audience as possible. And obviously, bigger audiences mean more money. Art students graduate to a corporate world that swallows their bold ideas and ambitions and tells them that it's much better for everybody if they drop their own projects and put their nose to the grindstone to produce the next Emoji Movie.

    • @Karin029_
      @Karin029_ Před 4 lety +146

      Julien animals in 3D animation? Quite the opposite. Hyper realistic animals in 3D animation? Very much so. This is why they created uncanny valley moments where they tried too had with expressiveness. Disney designed a visual mess because they were too afraid to infuse their hyper realism with movements full of character and emotion throughout the entire film like in the original, so they settled with boring but beautiful realism, as well as some expressiveness which stuck out like a rusty nail in the midst of the realism.
      Basically it wasn’t too hard or expensive. They just took a really risky design choice and flopped.

      edge-spaghett Amen to that. Expressions don’t have to be exaggerated to the extent of cartoons to avoid stiffness. There’s so many subtle motions that go a long way when put together. Even realistically, it makes me think of the recent photo of a lion smiling when it amused itself by scaring the shit out of a photographer with his roar. It’s a very clear look of amusement on a real animal.

    The baseline drama: reflecting the pursuit of life freedom and procreation.
    The juxtaposition of the comedy (little and big amphibians) and the horror (The human story).
    The entire thing would be amazing if it was well directed/presented with stick figures and sock puppets. My point being that not only are the visual effects and audio spot on, but the plot and theme are incredibly well done.

      Short films like this are possible since they are made with an individual or small studios with a clear direction in mind, unlike big budget movies with dozens or hundreds of people working on a single film

    I was mesmerized by the frogs and even laughed at the gigantic one stucked in the jar. I thought, good for you!
    And then the music played, made me swing a bit. That was a good choice of music. It almost distracted me from the grim scene that came on next.
    Corpse! A corpse appeared in the midst of all the revelry.
    Now, I cannot look away. I was stunned, never expected anything sinister happened.
    Well done, team!

    I love the tone of this short film tbh. There's something dark and uncanny about it, and over time you start to notice how something is clearly wrong, but life is still thriving there. The frogs and the toads have a safe environment to live in and have plenty of access to food. So there's something strangely wholesome about the whole thing despite how morbid it actually is.

      @@blacktor1278 yup, some think it’s stupid. I believe that once you have a seemingly endless amount of money you won’t be happy. You’ll just want new stuff all the time, and in doing that you’re ruining the world for everyone else.

    Ich liebe einfach alles daran! Der Fakt das sich in dieser Villa etwas Abgespielt hat, vielleicht mit Drogen, Geld und einem Einbruch/Überfall/Razzia, das die Natur natürlich bleibt und ihren Lauf nimmt ect.. Wie süß sind die Frösche bitte? Der Big Boy der den Hals nicht voll kriegt xD Der kleine Romantiker und der der sein Schmetterling endlich haben will haha und das auch genau da eher der Fokus liegt und das alles was im Hintergrund abgeht eben im Hintergrund bleibt, wirklich wirklich gut gemacht, die Animation und das Design selbst sehr schön geworden und die kleine aber feine Story braucht kein Erzähler, finde es sehr schön das man sich selbst schließen kann worum es wohl ging und wie es dazu kam!

      Rich Man was envolved in something he shouldn't have been envolved in with people he should have avoided. True the safe had been cracked but I'll bet it contained more than money.

    I loved how this told the story of the man and the house, without actually telling that story! It was the frog’s story, but it showed enough to create a whole other story!! Also the little frog has me dead, hitting the windows and the buttons😂
