Fred Aujas

• Fred Aujas is a French director, and isn’t very well known in the UK.

• His work is based in Motion design, Matte painting & FX, and 3D. His videos play with reality and fantasy, by creating new worlds and

creatures. I like his style, each of his videos are different, but carries his style through out them with colours, animation and use of layers.

Karimouche / P’tit Kawa

• This is one of two videos Fred Aujas’s music videos with Karimouche.

• In this video Fred Aujas uses layers; layering colours, brushes, and animation.

• Uses text, matching to the lyrics.

• He uses close ups of the artist, and animates her; using live footage and turning it into paper.

• He creates odd creatures, giving humans animal’s heads.

• This video has an old film feeling, rustic.

• Green screen

• His work is a collage

• The theme of fantasy is featured

Karimouche / Raggamuffin

• This compared to the P’tit Kawa video is more modern, with lighter colours but carries on his style of using animation and green screen.

• This video features the artist heavily, having her playing two characters.

• This is also his second video with this artist.

• It feels more feminine through the use of colours, it uses more pinks while his other videos reds and oranges are used.

M.A.P / La chassse est ouverte

• Fred Aujas breaks away from the style he uses in the first two videos; this has a more urban feel.

• He use live footage, street scenes.

• He experiments with lighting, with in the opening with the swinging light.

• He also uses close ups.

• Its also in black and white, while other music videos he has directed are colourful. He has kept in mind the artists style.

• Urban world.

BABYLON CIRCUS / J'aurais bien voulu

• The director has work with the band with captions in their touring dvd, and stage design.

• In J'aurais bien voulu, he uses green screen heavily for the artists to feature in it, as narrators guiding the audience through the story.

• He uses the bands motif of the clown ; the main character is an clown.

• He uses reds and oranges when the band members are in a scene.

• I like the narrative of this video, even thought I don’t understand what they are saying, I can still follow with the visuals.
