Pocket cinema: Switch
Filmmaker Jean-Julien Pous has one of the most intriguing Vimeo profiles I saw lately… he uploaded most his works, and I spent few hours watching his animations, Visual FX production and low budget short films, shot in Asian cinematography style (my favorite, do I have to repeat it)… His animated film Switch is on Sunday matinee here…
Synopsis:
‘Welcome in a world where people are born with a clock on their back. Humanity, through the eyes of a business-calibrated mannequin, has a fight with itself against time and the choices it has to make, which materializes by doubles of itself. A metaphysical thought on the pressure of time on our society.’
Jean-Julien Pous is a French 25-years-old filmmaker from Paris. He lived in China for years, and fell in love with Hong Kong. He is graduated from Supinfocom and Vancouver Film School, both famous for animation. He made several short films, two of them featured and awarded in festivals around the world, mixing 2d and 3d animation with pixilation. He did video essays, directed a big budget music video for a Los Angeles hip hop band, and has been second camera operator on a million-dollar Maybelline commercial in New York, using DSLRs as movie cameras. He’s been then refining a low-budget, guerilla-style filmmaking without compromising picture quality. In between projects as a director, he works in different fields such as visual effects for advertising and short films, set photography, graphic design and lighting.
