I know I haven't been posting much lately, I could give reasons but the true sad fact is, I have been procrastinating on writing my daily blog post.
However I haven't been procrastinating on this other project. Normally I would give the explanation and then let you discover the video but this time I think you should enjoy it first.
This is my very first animation movie. It is called "Pieces of my heart" because I wanted to make a puzzle for someone to built up and this is the first part of it. I'm not sure about the complete story, I'm not sure how many pieces there will be, I don't know the ending. I just hope people smile when watching it.
It didn't turn out completely as expected but I'm still pretty happy with it. It took me a month from conception of the story board to final touch.
I did all the drawing on ms paint, creating the backgrounds from a picture, and the characters and putting the pieces together was done with photoshop. The video editing was done with windows movie maker.
I'm also the one playing the piano terribly during the movie.
The introduction and conclusion music is from The "Letter song" by Hatsune Miku.
Creating the characters involved a study of movement and I know I still have some work to do about it to make it more natural. I also spotted some other mistakes that I will be taking care of in the next animation more carefully.

Screening of "Tilaï"
En français
On Saturday 5th, before the start of the 22nd Panafrican Film and Television Festival of Ouagadougou, was organized in JICA (Japanese International Cooperation Agency) in Tokyo the screening of "Tilaï" a film from Burkina Faso. I went there with some friends including one frocm Burkina Faso who introduced us to the ambassador of his country.
"Tilaï" (the law) is the story of a forbidden love between a man and a woman belonging to someone else. It shows the relationship within an African family, the love and the proud. This film received the jury price in the Cannes festival in 1990.
We also good try some juice from Burkina Faso before a series of question about the experience some people had in Burkina Faso.

エンジェルビーツ (Angel beats)
En français
エンジェルビーツ is an anime series in 13 episodes directed by Seiji Kishi which appeared between November 2009 and May 2010.
After his death, Otonashi arrives in a high school for young souls who refused their death. The students are divided in two categories, the NPC some computer programmed students who are here to show people how to behave and are followed by the normal students and the Afterlife battle front and of course Angel. When people behave correctly forgetting their past life, they disappear to be reborn. The Afterlife battle front is fighting against the system as they cherish their past life no matter how hard it was because it was real. Their main enemy is Angel. But things are not that simple as Otonashi figures out another wait to be erased from this world and God is still nowhere to be seen.
I think this anime is really great. I like the how the story link all the characters together in the afterlife and give details to their past life. I also enjoy the war between Yuri and Angel, the research of God
and the desire of revenge present in most characters, especially Yuri. My favorite secondary characters are Hinata, Naoi and Yui probably due to the way they are interacting with each other.

Fish memory
En français
I think the title predicts that there will be a bit of ranting in this post so you have been warned.
I think fish memory is going to be the end of humanity anytime soon, that's an ever progressing epidemic that seems to have been unnoticed so far even though I'm confronted to it every day.
First I should define what I call "Fish memory".
Even though eating fish, give you a lot of DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid), fishes have a very bad memory like commonly people believe that it's about 3 secs or something like that. (In fact the memory span of a fish is more of about three months, which is not too long either)
Anyway what I call fish memory is when you are talking about something with someone or doing something with them and the next day they seem to have forgotten about it.
At first I really thought that people were doing it on purpose, that seems so impossible. They ask you something and the next day they will ask you again as if they didn't even listen to you. Or they will ask you to do something for them and forget that they did and ask again one hour later.
But in fact it seems that people really forgot.
I don't know where it's coming from. Are they just not paying attention? Is it that they don't care ? I'm not really sure, but the fact is, it seems to be spreading with increasing speed and people seem to be able to forget the same thing several time in a row.
So do you remember the beginning of the post ?
