La Laine Des Moutons

Animatic / 2012 / 5min 53sec / Colored / Digital 2D Drawing / 16:9 / French with English Subtitle 


Synopsis 

The process of making a pair of lambswool socks can be just whimsical. Time flies and as Kentin grows up, he  realizes that colorful socks, after all, are made of love and that's how they keep him warm. 

The animated short film narrates a story based on its tittle song "La Laine Des Moutons"


Artist's notes

The song brings me back to my childhood whenever it's played. Memories like to come by out of a sudden and question things that I used to believe in the past. I can't seem to figure out why but I've been always having this very strong connection between socks, lambswool, school, grandma and childhood. So i thought of bringing them all together, in just one very own story, which can be told to people. 

My favorite drawer of socks which is growing bigger and bigger...!
