Mon Orage

"Mon Orage" is a simple and poetic visual experience, a moment of reflection on the importance of spending time with those who are dear to us, a celebration of the friendships and loves that emerge in our lives and can change everything, an invitation to remember the people who have counted for us or the moments that have marked our existence...

Director Statement

ENGLISH (FRENCH FOLLOWS):
The creation of the short film "Mon Orage" followed a haiku-inspired process. The central question was: how can we create the most visually simple film to support the song, with the core idea that everything will inevitably fall apart because we all grow old, and we need to make the most of every second. So, I came up with this idea of a face-to-face meeting with a character looking at you and thinking while he/she is getting old. The goal was to make things as simple, touching, and meaningful as possible, while staying within a very limited budget. We chose an Unreal Engine-based solution, using a video game character that I animated with mocap and whose gaze I programmed. The band and I were really happy with the result.

FRENCH:
La création de la vidéo "Mon Orage" a suivi un processus inspiré du haïku. La question centrale était : comment réaliser un film visuellement simple pour soutenir la chanson, avec l'idée centrale que tout finira nécessairement par s'effondrer, car nous vieillissons tous, et nous devons tirer le meilleur parti de chaque seconde. J'ai donc imaginé cette idée d'une rencontre en face à face avec un personnage qui vous regarde et réfléchit tout en vieillissant en une poigneé de secondes. L'objectif était de rendre les choses aussi simples, touchantes et significatives que possible, tout en restant dans un budget très limité. Nous avons donc opté pour une solution basée sur Unreal Engine, en utilisant un personnage de jeu vidéo que j'ai animé en MOCAP et dont j'ai programmé les mouvements de regard. Le groupe et moi-même avons été très satisfaits du résultat, et en sommes fiers.
