One of the rising stars of the new generation of stop motion animation directors is Valerie Pirson, born in 1981. She was "discovered" by Michel Gondry - one of the innovators of the visual language of music videos of the late 1990s and early 2000s. Gondry is probably most famous for his super-original and highly imaginative promos for Björk, in which he often combined live action and stop motion. When Gondry saw Valerie's graduation animation film Pistache, he liked it so much, he asked her to work on the The Science of Sleep - his second feature. In this film, Gondry cleverly interweaves live action with stop motion animation, Gondry-style. Valerie created the animations for "Stephane TV", the imaginary TV show of the protagonist. "Michel Gondry gave me carte blanche. He just outlined the story," notes Valerie, who was still in school, about to complete her degree course in Visual and Graphic Arts at the National School of Decorative Arts in Paris, Ensad, when she embarked on Gondry's project.
Sounds like a best-case scenario for any young animator, to have the chance to work with Michel Gondry. Gondry also introduced Valerie to Partizan, the French agency that produces music videos and commercials.
We spent a day with Valerie in Paris and filmed her at her studio, where she gave us a peek at the animation process, and we followed her to a meeting with clients at the Partizan headquarters.
