"...and suddenly it's all about to change"



So, maybe first off I should apologise to all those who were somewhat baffled by the previous post :D
It was a conversation made up of various quotes from things I heard, read or said, from real life, books or films.... and I wondered how many people could spot their contributions! So congratulations to Charlotte and Stéphanie who were the only winners!!
What do they win?
.....Quelque chose INCROYABLE.
(commiserations to Joël, Thomas, Bernard, Bung, Hélène et Chloé who all missed out :P).





(Skecthbook keeping is restricted to the Metro and Laundrette these days....)

This time around there is no confusing conversation - though there is a way to be a winner!!
To commemorate the fact that over 200 of you kind people seem to think this blog is worth clicking the follow button for, I thought I would say thank you.....

The title of the previous post was a quote from a film.
The title of this post is a lyric from a song.

Post a comment with the name of the film and the song/artist, and the first two people with the correct answer will have sent to them (no matter where you are), either a sketchbook page or a life drawing.... (no cash alternatives :P)



(These were some random drawings I found from a session a while ago.)

As for me, well we have just about finished our Layout Animatic for the film. We have split the scenes up and myself and the other 3 animators each have around 10 shots adding up to around 40 seconds of animation each.... sometimes including more than one character... to do in a couple of months starting Monday (including tie-down, inbetween etc). LET'S GO!!! :D

Hope this post finds everyone well!!
'Till the Next,
L

Terence Ng Tat Mew said...

J'aime vraiment ce que tu fais, tes travaux ainsi que ceux de tes camarades aux Gobelins.

Sinon, je suis pas très fort en jeux de mots...Je dirai juste:
"Annie Hall was lost in time."

Helene Leroux said...

WHITLEYLOSTINTIME!!

Helene Leroux said...

Dana said...

Hope all is well in Franceland!

Stéphanie said...

J'ai droit à un dessin, alors ?

L Rossi said...

:D Sooo we have our winners! More on that later.....

@Frankie
Cheers man! I dunno...sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't... :'D
And dude you were first in!! You coulda done a google search :P

@Kenny
I said I would! :)
I would love to swap art wit'ya! Though I would have to give you like 5 of mine for 1 of yours.... bit like swapping football stickers at school - you got the 'shinies', I just got the substitutes :P
YES! Come and work for us!!!!!

@Nubiane
Cheers dude. Deadline for the whole thing is just before Annecy....
The stress hasn't kicked in yet - I think as soon as the first scenes start getting done we start realising things don't go as planned, then we better cue the Rocky music!

@Chloé
Mais!! T'es trop tard!! Ça c'était pour le dernier post! Donc du coup tu as raté le dernier concours, et maintenant, celui ci! :D
Peut être t'en a marre d'avoir des dessins ;)

@Tiffany
Thank you very much!
....
Yep. I can see the secondary reaction on that thing right now... :P

@Mew
Merci! C'est vraiment gentil - et félicitations d'être le premier!!!! (Je sais que tu na pas mis l'artist pour le chanson, mais j'ai bien aimé le jeux de mots, et comme c'est moi qui crée les regles, je dit que tu peux avoir un dessin! :')
Regarde en bas pour les details

@Hélène
Tu as vraiment la chance ma petite..p....
Tu voir - 7h apres le premier commentaire, tu t'es rends compte que tu as oublie l'autre reponse... 4 minute avant Dana as laissé son commentaire!!!
Je sais pas comment tu l'as fait... il y a l'air 'tricheuse' quelque part...
Mais bref... tu étais le deuxieme. Félicitations(!) :P

@Dana
I don't know if you saw, but Hélène got in before you by 4 minutes.... but then again, grammatically, you were more correct than she was!!
Soooooooo!!!
I'm gonna give you both a pic ;)
Details below!

@Stéphanie
Bah ouais, seulement si tu en veux?? ;)
Un ptit portrait sur un Post-it de toi? Ça te vas? Ou si non, juste un croquis nu?

WINNERS!!
Congratulations to Mew, Hélène and Dana.
Please send your mailing addresses to onedaylefilm (at) gmail.com
and I'll try to get something out to you as soon as I can :)

L Rossi said...

@Stéphanie
Quand je dis 'croquis nu', c'est un dessin que j'ai déjà fait.... ce n'est pas de toi! :'D

Dana said...

Gee wiz L, thanks a ton ;3;

Terence Ng Tat Mew said...

Merci! J'espère que ça te dérange pas trop quand même, je suis de l'île maurice.

Anonymous said...

*puffs chest* You and Dana are putting my already blegh life studies to shame! I must improve now... you guys are my two huge sources of inspiration for this kind of thing. Haha!

Hot damn that grayscale woman and those strokes on the upper far left. *quivers bottom lip* So tantalizing...

PS: Do you have an email or Skype thing I could contact you with? I have a proposition of sorts possibly. *raises brow*

But yes, keep doing what you're doing, bro. These are always a joy to see. :D

Sjan Weijers said...

wow these sketches are really awesome.. Very cool lines.
Looking forward to see more!

L Rossi said...

@Dana & Mew
Pleasure! :)

@CJ
Thanks man! I'm glad you like this stuff :)
You can drop me a mail at
onedaylefilm (at) gmail.com
I'd be happy to hear a proposition... but be warned, I'm pretty occupied at the mo :S

@Sjan
Thank you kindly! :)

Estrella A.C said...
