Character Design Podcast 002Raphael Bluzet is a freelance director and motion designer from Paris. Over the years he’s worked on a series of projects involving everything from live action to 2D and 3D animation. The one project that introduced me to Raphael was the short-film series called “We need to talk about cosmos”. A story about a stranded astronaut named Roger who tells us about his problems, activities and observations in space in a deadpan, yet humoristic fashion. The series was a part of the official selection of 7 film festivals in 2018 and is still making waves today. Now what stands out about Raphael to me is that he’s got a lot of experience across the spectrum when it comes to adobe programs. In a time where specialized knowledge becomes increasingly more valuable, Raphael’s had a finger in photoshop, premiere pro, after effects and adobe animate. Leaving him with what i would imagine to be a great fundament for his role as a director. In his spare time he also loves to travel and he seems to have an obsession with old fashioned film cameras. In this episode we talk about everything from his artistic roots to the recent animated projects he's worked on.Raphael's website: http://www.raphaelbluzet.fr/en/Raphael's Instagram: https://bit.ly/3eBkyKRMusic: City of Jewels by Density & Time https://bit.ly/34TjfCmContact: [email protected]
