Director’s Statement
L’Eau Life began as an experiment in
animating water in motion with water

color. I wanted to get the feel of water and
the emotion of being in it, while capturing
the water action moments that are the most fun to draw:
jumping, swimming, falling in and climbing out. Because I
stuck to these highlights and cut quickly, the film developed a
momentum that began to feel almost hypnotic, but happily so.
As it evolved it became a celebration of water and summer.
