the Alliance Française de Bangkok commissioned me to create a special video commemorating their 110th anniversary. For this project, I collaborated with three of my talented students to produce a unique piece of animation that celebrates the rich cultural heritage shared between France and Thailand.
We employed a rotoscoping technique, meticulously drawing frame-by-frame over iconic films such as Georges Méliès’s “A Trip to the Moon” and the Lumière Brothers’ “Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat.” These images were then carefully scanned and integrated into our animation using After Effects, blending historical cinematic moments with modern digital techniques.
The completed film was showcased on December 10, 2022, during the anniversary event as part of an exhibition highlighting the enduring cultural connections between the two nations.
