Updates From Caroline Across The Channel

Caroline Attia's summer has been a productive one. Having first received a grant from the New Media arm of the French film board for the animated TV series 'Bottled Pirates', Caroline is also working on another recently funding project from the French film board - this time as the projects visual artist. 

'Bottled Pirates' was first created by Caroline with her collaborator Claire Grimond and the project is now fully produced through Sacrebleu productions based in Paris. Updates in due course!

'Mayo, Ketchup, lait de Soja' - which is a TV adaptation of a book written by Gaia Guasti - has received a concept grant from the innovation fund at the French film board. Caroline has been confirmed as the visual artist to put Guasti's word into pictures. We greatly look forward to seeing how Caroline interprets the story.  

Lastly, a short film that Caroline animated and directed has appeared in its full glory online after a long run on the festival circuit. After only a couple of weeks, 'Pinchaque, the Columbian Tapir' has been Vimeo staff-picked and racked up over 160,000 views.

Caroline Attia Illustrates Interactive Children's Book 'Where's My Whisper'

Film Club’s Caroline Attia has extended the reach of her lovely illustration and animation work from commercials and films to the interactive world of digital apps. Caroline has penned the artwork for ‘Where’s My Whisper’ - a children’s book developed exclusively designed for the iPad that makes use of environmental factors, such as the weather and the time. These elements then alter the setting of the story and the way the story is understood, offering a tailored ‘voice’ to the narrative. The story was written and is narrated by CS Sealey.

‘Wheres my Whisper’ has so far had hundreds of downloads and been translated into five languages. It’s cold out there and it’s getting dark early – pop over to this link to download yourself a copy for £1.99 from the Apple App Store!
