Another article about my arrival at Aardman, sent to me by a friend.

Pages Jaunes Competition

This my entry to the Eyeka competition for 'Pages Jaunes'. The brief was to create a 30s commercial for the French equivalent of the Yellow Pages, on a track from Persephone's Bees and using and (or not) the brand character of the brand which is a cave man. If you like it, please register and vote, it only takes a minute - so I might win a prize! I will be very grateful.

Frigou goes to Bristol

I'm very excited - and a little bewildered - to announce that I'm going to be represented by Aardman Animations for commercials from now on.

There is an article about this here

I will try my best to produce work that will not look ridiculous next to that of Tim Ruffle, Arthur Cox, Matt Walker or Sam Morrison, who I'm a big fan of.

Here is my page on the Aardman website.

I worked on the trailer of the Tate and Aardman Movie Project, which is much talked about this morning in the press.

Directed by the amazing Sarah Cox who I was lucky to work with for a little while before joing Tandemfilms, the project has been kept secret for a while... I helped design the character from Sarah's sketches and animated it with the help of brilliant Ginny Robertson. A guardian journalist seems to not quite get the idea - I think it's a brilliant initiative and I hope I'll be involved again.

Beautiful Place

A small clip I animated, inspired by a long and difficult flat hunt in London...

Kids aren't that smart

Some illustrations to go with the campaign for CalciYum, that New Zealand drink.

I need to add there that I also did the voice over for some of the adds (I can do a 9 years old girl sneezing pretty well)

Quelques illustrations réalisées pour aller avec la campagne Calci Yum, une boisson pour enfants Néo-Zélandaise.

J'ai fait quelques unes des voix de ces spots télé (l'éternuement, c'est moi.)

Kids aren't that smart

Some designs I did for a New Zealand drink called CalciYum. The ads have been directed by Daniel Greaves at Tandemfilms, and animated by lots of talented animators including Jeroen Jaspaert.

Cheap Christmas Presents 3

Another series of Christmas business cards.

Une dernière série de cartes de visite.

Orange Maps

In February 09 I had the chance of directing these two short films for Orange, through Tandemfilms for the London agency AKQA.I had to create these two characters, Luc and Georges, and devise along with the creatives an eventful journey to a 'glamorous' pool party, to which our protagonists manage to get to thanks to the new Orange Maps feature. The films are visible on the Orange French and English website.

En Février 09 j'ai eu la chance de réaliser pour AKQA Londres sur ces deux petits films pour Orange, grâce à Tandemfilms. J'ai dû créer ces deux personnages, Luc et Georges, et imaginer avec les créatifs leur itinéraire jusqu'à une soirée piscine pour téléphones portables, illustrant la technologie 'Orange Maps'. Les films sont sur les sites Français et Anglais d'Orange.

Animated by/animés par Ginny Robertson, Laura Nailor & Arianne Wolodarsky
