Erreur de Jugement
Pitch
While bringing a mail to Saint Peter in Purgatory, Emil, a young postman, accidentally sends the wrong person to Heaven. He runs to find and bring him back to avoid Saint Peter’s wrath.
"Erreur de Jugement" (Missed-judgment) is my graduation movie, made during my third year studying animation at LISAA Animation and Video games in Paris.
From an original idea by Charlotte Técher.

Animation
The animation of "Erreur de Jugement" was made with Toonboom Harmony, with both cut-out animation and traditional animation. Emil, the main protagonist, Saint Peter and secondary characters were animated traditionally, while the biker and the grandma were built on Toonboom Harmony, using deformers.
During this project, I animated a large part of the scenes, essentially traditional animated scenes.
Here are some shots I animated, at different production stages.
Compositing
"Erreur de Jugement" 's compositing was made on both After Effect and Harmony, using each software's advantages. As an exemple, you can see on the shot below the character with light and shadows on the left, which is exported from Harmony, using Tone and Highlight nodes. The animation is then exported into After Effect to add backgrounds and more technical adjustments.
I was in charge of the whole movie's compositing, and here are different shots with different production's stage.
