Once in a while, I would come across a promising independent project online that spur me to plug it here for much deserving attention. The project I'm referring to is Meet Meline, a 6 minute animated short film created by French CG artist Virginie Goyons and Sebastien Labanon and after two years of working independently, they are ready to present the trailer on the official site. Here's a brief synopsis:
"Meet Meline" tells the story of little girl, named Meline, that will be faced with an extraordinary event. A strange little creature will appear on her life. The story follow this unusual encounter from the little girl's point of view.
I'm can't help but become captivated with the child-like wonder of the girl as she is searching for the mysterious little creature. Its a great piece of quality animation with gorgeous details and the music playing in the background is beautiful. I can tell alot of heart went into this. Check out the embedded trailer after the break.
Animations like these are the prime reason I'm still convinced Pixar sucks.
I don't think Pixar sucks, I think they are awesome, but for different reasons. They are still aimed at a large, mostly young market. And it's too bad that their style of animation is becoming some sort of standard, it seems. Every Disney, Pixar and Dreamworks 3D animated movie is looking the same nowadays...
BTW, this trailer looks incredible. Can't wait to see the whole 6 minutes!
The trailer looks great, i love Pixar's animations.
Hey, that's us! :o)

Hey Sebastien, my hat is off to you. The mood in the trailer gave me this heartwarming feeling and a sense of magical wonder. It left me wanting to see whats going to happen next when the girl meets this mysterious creature.
All the best as you are putting the finishing touches to your short film. I look forward to seeing the rest.
That was really really inspiring! This is how I want the future of animation to be. Work that has heart and passion made by amazing animation artists. I'm truly looking forward to this and your future work :)
