short film project : "sans pouces"

We worked in groups on different projects forming on big story which will be shown during the International Short Film Festival Clermont-Ferrand 2012. I had the idea and developed it with Léa Puissant.
Here some pictures of the filming this week.

Costumes 2011

Two of my new costumes worn at a comic and film Convention in Bonn, Germany :

I wanted to do another strange Cosplay as I learned how to work with clay and plaster during a workshop at my school so I began with Popeye's chin. Now I know how to work with Latex and I'm nearer to my dream Cosplay than before..... You will know what it is when it's finished! ^^

I didn't do a group costume for a long time and I missed it. So here a simpler cosplay... so simple that even my friends didn't recognised me! They said, I was too blackhaired, too serious and too normal!! °:D Here is the original character :-

Regards sur l'Europe 2011

Month ago, I saw thet there was a competition for video and photo with the subject "Regards sur l'Europe" ("look/sight on Europe"). I wanted to participate, so I send my work. A video and a photo.

I have been honored with the first price, so awesome! This is the photo the jury chose :

IMG_8998neu A photo I took in Le Havre

The second work I presented was the video "Klischees" :

Planche_Contact_001 
This mosaic photo appears in negativ sometimes... who knows why... ??? Canalblog strikes too often.


It's 9:16 but dailymotion deformed it!!! Why?! ><

This competition got more and more importance. First, it was within Puy de Dôme and then, it gained an european level. It became an exposition which will move to different places for the next two years, until June 2013.

Some pictures from Thursday 12th may 2011, the vernissage of the exposition :

DSCF0233neu  DSCF0267  DSCF0337

You can also see Justine Emard's work                             ... and my awarded photo again.

DSCF0353neu  DSCF0356 DSCF0292neu  DSCF0294

I tried to speak of this photography...                  ....but I'm a little bit proud :D

DSCF0284  DSCF0395neu


concours_crous_grenoble
Only one day after this competition and exposition, I send my work the CROUS' student competition with this video. I hope having big chances to get rewarded because
1)
I and even many others do really like this video so I want it to be seen by others, too and
2) cacahouette, my dear Mac is slowly dying... she even has problems to open windows from Finder!!! ; _ ;

After two conventions (Munich and Ludwigshafen)

I visited two conventions during my easter holidays... well, it's not really holiday, it was a moment I wasn't in the school all the time! :D

One of these conventions was near Munich (Fürstenfeldbruck) and I really got the shooting I wanted to try with this water element character. Zynicus and I were trying many many photos, here a tiny selection.

A really kitschy and too feminin character for me, but it's interesting how far I can get to transform myself into something I'm not and see the results as photos.

   7603286  7603310

 7603283  187554

 7603311  7603282
photos : Zynicus

--> What interests me in these costumes is the total transformation of my body which influenses also my character during the day I am wearing (and acting) this character. Even my own mother does not recognise me, this is also an aspect of 'be something else' for a short moment.

"How far can I push it, where is the limit of the possibilities of transformation?"

ARC paysage - a week in Le Havre

I had the chance to be one of the students chosen for a one week study trip in Le Havre (sunday 20.03. - friday 25.03.). We were chosen by our projects we presented (written) weeks before the trip.
Here some pictures of this open, geometrical and new city at the ocean.

(pictures taken with a Canon EOS except the two first ones)

 
For my project, I wanted to work on these strange and nearly surreal forms seen from above.

IMG_8591 IMG_8597 IMG_8792 IMG_9011
Thank you p.e.  Laura,         Lucile,                                Dominique,                         Ahmed                         . . .

In the end I worked on a video, as always. I can't change it, the mouvement images are my nature! :D
I'm working on it's montage at the moment, I will upload it when it is finished. The inhabitants become these forms or imitate them. Simple assignations(?) give birth so strange forms and movements.

In the end, I met at least 65 people, all completely different. Each encounter has it's own story. The video professor, Alex Pou, said : 'You seem to be able to make people do everything you want them to do. It's surprising that they really do it.' - Well... haaa... *showing off* It's my natural overwhelming charisma! Haha! :D

It was a great experience and as always, I didn't stop moving to see everything I could get!
Thank you so much ésacm, thank you also to all indulgent participants! (list soon)


From this research of geometric form, I saw my research images as photography for the first time.

They will be replaces by the corrected pictures (colour, contrasts) soon!

My first successful competition!

One of my videos got awarded at the Videoformes' Une Minute competition in the Highschool's category :
It is a national competition in video creation supported by the Fondation Varenne, the DRAC d'Auvergneand the Rectorat de Clermont-Ferrand open to students and associations.

Saturday, 19 march, 18h30 at the 'Petit Vélo'

 Image_14

(http://www.videoformes-fest.com/festival-11/comp%C3%A9tition-vid%C3%A9o-1-minute/)



I'm really glad the jury liked my video. Unfortunatly, it wasn't shown entirely at the palmarés and there are problems at the screening online, the rhythm is too fast.
I uploaded is on dailymotion, but it won't work properly.

continuing to train myself...

I got to improve my technique, so I did one two things after each day of Videoformes's internship.

- A tiny molding exercise I did this evening,

100_7160100_7161100_7163100_7164
I just finished the second side of the four sides this evening (the bottom will be the casting/molding opening in the final printing). I will do the two other sides tomorrow- err... no, today.  (it's 01:03 a.m. already!)

63212073  - And another mold with whom I will do a mask with a material I discovered at Videoformes' internship : It is easy to manipulate, you get a beautiful smoth surface using water, and it stays light and shock resistant!

100_7075shinigami_I am interested in this project, because this 'person' has nothing to do with a the human body. He is taller, smaller and has only one leg etc... I don't want to transform myself into someone else, bit into something else!

Here some work in progress photos :
100_7077100_7081100_7085100_7092100_7087


I really would like to come home before 21:00 p.m. Out at 9a.m., home at 9p.m. I'm so tired. . .

Flo goes "Festivals"!

It was a great and really productive day! Well, the others too, but this one was a little special ^^
First thing : I finally had a really great English seminar for a long time now. It was so great to speak english with French without them looking at me as if I were crazy or snobbish acting up in front of them.
The greatest is that they give us the possibility to pass an internationally recognised exam! (yeah, recognised with an s, I try to speak British English! XD) Not only that the teacher to exercises with us and prepares us to pass it, but our school also takes the financial part!! Awesome!! \ * 0 * / Since I'm french and german, I don't have to pass another language exam, so it's really cool that I can be certificated in English! I'll have three languages official certificated as fluent!! :D (Do I love languages? Do I? XD)

Second thing and the main reason why I write here for you :
Before the International Festival of Shortfilms of Clermont-Ferrand (Festival du Court Métrage de Clermont-Ferrand), I never realised how many festivals there were; all the time and everywhere.
I met so many directors, cameramen and producers, it gave me a tiny idea how all this works.
So I entered the international site of online shortfilm stockage (Shortfilmdepot) and discovered a lot more festivals!

I just submitted three of my videos for three festivals :
screenshot0_ Image_9_neu Florence_Heyer_clic_flou3

videosubmission6neu
my submissions for the Curtocirciuto International Short Film Festival 2011

I will send the other submissions Ampelmännchen and Le Corps In Mali - in march for the International Competitions at :
- 25 FPS, International Experimental Film And Video Festial 2011, Zagreb and
- Concorto Film Festival 2011 - Pontenure, World Stories (International Fiction)


clic will be send to :
- 25 FPS, International Experimental Film And Video Festial 2011, Zagreb

Awesome, how many details shortfilmdepot.com wants in his papers! Videoformes was less formal and smaller :D You can see videos of the festival and on their blog.
EDIT - Clic has been selected for the second price of Videoformes' Highschool competition! It's my first official price!

Two weeks ago, I submitted these three and two another ones (Texte En Ligne) to the festival Videoformes in Clermont-Ferrand where I do my working experience in march and april. (yeah, when others go skiing! XD)


I hope they will like what I did...
bisous X3

 

note @ myself - international festivals!

Much more than 'Court-Métrage'...

I just had the best day for a long time!!! (Not the fullest, I had several times two days in a row without going home! O_ o")

Just when I thought I should go home (to prepare the translation for the director's presentations tomorrow at my art school - EDIT : in the end, I translated both directors ^^°) I couldn't leave; we went to a bar to drink and eat, then to a great Rock 'n' Roll live show, then when I finally got on my way home I met James with whom I had a great chat ^^

Thank you so much all the people I met who
were just so kind!
Thank you Basti, Milena, Benoit, Luc, Nathalie (non-française), Thank you Jürgen, Geneviève, Ute, Raimund, Pauline - Thank you Chang-Hao, Jui-Tsai, Henry, Zune and Nathalie (française) - Thank you Ian, Chaitanya, Janina, Pablo? - Thank you Michael, Edmund. . . and all I unfortunately missed to name or of whom I never asked their names but chatting with them was great.

It is so great so meet the world - India, Cuba, Brazil, Taiwan, Korea/Japan, UK, Philippines, USA, France, Italy, China, Germany. . .

 Cout_Metrage
33e édition : du 04. au 12. février 2011

To the Court-Métrage itself :
I didn't count the films I saw, but I can say, taht I didn't see passing the time. I went home every day at midnight or 2 a.m. after seeing the last screening or after meeting directors, producers or technicians...
How I love this festival! O u O There are so great films, I'm even more interested in (short-) films than usual! :D

plaster mold and silicone. . . molding workshop 2011 at the esacm

Here some pictures of the past three days. This workshop was really enriching and very interesting!
The artist, Frank, who taught us all these things was joking with us all the time, but he was always there for a dozen of students! Really remarkable, I'm really thankful I had the chance to participate.

Transform my body's shape by first molding my hands. These are for two different projects :

100B5382_ 100B5450_ 100B5341 100B5520_
100B5670_ 100B5740_ 100B5770 100B5730
I didn't care their look so much, they are the base for other constructions (animalic hands, Popeyearms etc). He did my left hand, I did the right... not logical, I'm right hander! lD

again body-transforming parts :

popeye 100B5231_ 100B5261 100B5400 100B5500_
soon : the finished mask in silicone

experimenting with clay (positive), then plaster (negative), then coloured silicone (positive) :

100B5601 100B5540 100B5630 100B5820_ 100B5650_

A simple try of sort of body marks like scars on the skin. I tried to colour the silicone with make-up powder and it worked!
EDIT : Silicone is SO simple so manipulate!! I love it! I'll see what I can learn about it even more ^^

-soon more!-

visiting card for my Valen-...technician! lD

Here a little job the technician of my former school gave me.
I wanted the card sending out a modern atmosphere. The first second you see the card, it should be clear whom's name it carries. A technician's. Not a technician of something random, but a technician of modern computers of an modern establishment.

First, I searched some motives concerning the modern computer engineering.

Manu_usbNUL_resized I spontaneously scanned a USB-stick, only to see how it will work out. I think it was a good idea, but it didn't work out as well as I would have liked. I scanned the best resolution the scanner could manage, but it wasn't as I wanted.

sources

So I searched further until I found two on which I continued to search :

Manu_85x54_Mac2 Manu_85x54_HD

Here you can see the final version. Chosen by both of us, the technician himself and myself.
We liked both the same version! ^^

Manu_85x54_Mac1

 

 

I hope having such an opportunity often, to do a lot more of these jobs it's a great thing to think for whom and for what you do those creations!

bisous X3

rénovation de la condition humaine. . .

I'm at a new start but still continuing learning. This time at the ésacm École Supérieure d'Art de Clermont-Ferrand Métropole doing my 4th and 5th year until the Master (DNSEP).
( more of this new school soon here in my weblog! )
More and more I'm asked by coincidence if I could do some bookbindings or, in this case here, a renovation of the human's condition'! ^^ The General Secretary gave me this task, he simply wanted to be able to read this without it falling apart. He liked what I've done and me too, for once, I'm quite satisfied.
I learn more and more and love bookbinding more and more. . . ^^
I also did a memo book/appointment book for a professor after she's seen mine! (or how do you say 'Terminplaner' or 'agenda' in english?)

enjoy!
