3D Animated Octopus Love Affair

Oktapodi by Gobelins

France is the number one European producer of animation, and third on the world stage. French artists and companies have long been able to export their know-how, as well as their aesthetic and cultural vision, through feature films, television series, shorts and advertisements. Gobelins L’Ecole de L’Image (School Of Visual Communication ) is a Parisian school dedicated to the visual arts. It is best known for the Cinéma Department of Animation.

Oktapodi is a 3D animated short film created by Gobelins School’ students Julien Bocabeille, François-Xavier Chanioux, Olivier Delabarre, Thierry Marchand, Quentin Marmier and Emud Nokhberi at the end of a 3 years character animation course. The 3D animated short film tells the story of two octopuses and their comical escape from the grasps of a stubborn and determined restaurant cook. To escape the clutches of a skilled cook, two octopuses engage in a burlesque race. Yet despite they successfully escape their fatal destiny, their struggle to stay together does not seem to get to an end.

Oktapodi has been winning all sorts of awards this year including the “Best Animation” award at the Imagina Awards 2008 and “Best Of Show” award at the Siggraph 2008.
