Earlier this month, the class of 2014 graduate films from French animation school Gobelins were published online.

How did Aymeric Kevin and his team manage to produce so many quality backgrounds on such a short schedule? Aymeric speaks to Cartoon Brew about the background art of "Ping Pong."

Pierre Zenzius studied animation production at Gobelins.

Yoann Hervo works as a character designer at Xilam Animation in Paris and is a recent graduate of Gobelins.

You can view three years of his school portfolios here and get a sense of the different kinds of exercises that Yoann completed for assignments for concept design and development.

View more of Yoann’s personal sketchbook drawings and illustrations on his blog HervoYoann.blogspot.com.

Violaine Briat graduated from Gobelins and now works as a storyboard artist in Paris.

Violaine is a prolific artist who creates personal work that includes her own world of characters that she features in wordless comics and drawings. She has collected these adventures on The Big Adventures blog and in a book published by Editions Rutabaga, Mini Aventure.

Above is one panel of a 173-panel original storyboard that she created just for “fun and practice.” See the whole thing here.

See the rest of Violaine’s work on her main blog, comics blog, doodle dump Tumblr, and fan art Tumblr.

Yesterday the Annecy International Animated Film Festival came to a close. For everyone who was unable to make the annual jaunt to Haute-Savoie to bask in the excellence of the graphical beaux arts, the festival has its own way of simultaneously enticing you and making you feel bad about your creative self. By this, we mean the signal films.

There were five signal films in total, conceived, designed and as usual, beautifully realized by the students at Gobelins.

The Retake created by Maxime Delalande, Nadya Mira, Semiramis Mamata, Laurent Moing and Rayane Raji

Sawa created by Camile André, Janis Aussel, Clément Doranlo, Maud Girard and Jong-Hyun Jung-Boix

Copernicus created by Elssa Boyer, Anne Courtin, Myriam Fourati, Sarah Simon and Pedro Vergani

The Fancy Family created by Debora Cruchon, Eve Ceccarelli, Marie-Pierre Demessant, Batiste Perron and Simon Masse

See Saw created by Marlène Beaube, Marion Bulot, Thibaud Gayral, Guitty Mojabi and Raphaëlle Stolz

Stephen Vuillemin is an artist who graduated from Gobelins in 2008 and lives in London.

You can see Stephen’s portfolio and blog here which includes his GIF animated comics.

Stephen has elevated the art of the animated GIF by producing work specifically for that format, and subsequently, has been commissioned by art directors to create animated GIFs to run in online publications. When the same publications run static print versions of the GIF illustrations, Stephen’s work flops the paradigm: the print version is the modified, adapted, and even inferior version when compared to the animated online version–but only because it lacks the motion. Stephen’s static illustrations are equally strange, humorous and appealing to view.

Debora Cruchon is studying animation at Gobelins, and keeps her portfolio work online here.

She also has a blog, supersalmon, where you can find animated loops, charcoal drawings, and paintings.

Her ink and watercolor sketchbook work have a playful experimentality, resulting in appealing and curious images.

Guitty Mojabi is studying at Gobelins in Paris. She posted her school portfolio posted here.

Lots of loose and expressive pencil/watercolor drawings from sketchbooks and assignments on her blog, including a few of her own Alice in Wonderland illustrations.

Graduation film (done during an exchange between Gobelins and Calarts last semester) by Louis Thomas. Thomas is currently working as a character designer/illustrator for both Pixar and Jib Jab. We featured Thomas’ previous short back in 2010. This one is a tribute to composer/conductor Leonard Bernstein and about 250 other Hollywood movie-star inspirations (all the caricatures are named in the end credits).

Great run cycle by Maxime Mary (sorry, Tumblr won’t let me loop the animation, but you can see it here) - this appears to be a thief for an upcoming project. Speaking of Gobelins, here’s the graduation film Maxime worked on while there:

Aw Jeeze, this is so awesome! Check out Maxime mary with the link below, I’m absolutely smitten.

Awesome animation by Maxime Mary.

A young woman tries to overcome her shyness, which is personified by a crocodile. Created by De Alice Bissonnet, Aloyse Desoubries Binet, Sandrine Hanji Kuang, Juliette Laurent, Sophie Markatatos, 3rd year students at GOBELINS in Paris, France.

Gobelins does it again. Another gorgeously-rendered, well-told story made by student animators Théo Guignard, Nöé Lecombre and Hugo Moreno. If it’s something in the water they give the students, they should bottle it and make a fortune. Unfortunately, it’s probably just a lot of hard work that’s paying off (and how!)

P.S. Another gem here.

(via Twitter / joshjcochran: Really beautiful short animation …)

Gorgeous!

RED RIVER BAY (by Jeremy PIRES)

A beautiful example of pure visual storytelling. Gobelins students Chloé Nicolay, Manddy Wyckens, Anthony Lejeune, Gaspard Sumeireand Léa Justum animated this short during their summer internship at Cube Creative in Paris.
