Euro-AICN Exclusive: The Producer of Arzak Rhapsody opens up about the new series, its art, and Moebius

Father Geek here with an AICN Exclusive from France for all our fans of outstanding phantasy animation. After last weeks story on Moebius' French Television series I wrote Producer Alexandre Brillant to find out more, and this is what he sent back to me...






He also had some comments of great interest...

First, you can watch for the opening of www.wolflandpictures.com next month.

Then, here is some info about the series:

This is the only series entirely conceived, written, drawned, designed and directed by Moebius (Jean Giraud). Everything in each episode is drawned and colored (on Photoshop) by him, then animated in Flash 5 (yes !) by the Millimages Online team (one of the biggest animation studio in France), then formated for broadcast by Télétota (french video post-production facility). The result is amazing. Why Flash 5 ? Because it was the only way for us to keep the original designs intact (excuse my bad english).

Here are some exclusive pictures that no one as ever seen before (I'm a great fan of your site). Enjoy, it's a scoop.






The World Premiere is set for September 1, 2002; and our budget was approx. FRF 3,500,000 to get it going...

Don't hesitate to send me any question regarding the project.

Sincerely,

Alexandre Brillant... Producer

Also if you type "arzak" on Imdb.com, there is something for you.






Father Geek back... I'm hot to see this! Moebius is one of the great Sci-fi illustrated story tellers, and just glance at those film credits... Costumes for BLADE RUNNER; Production design on TRON; Concept Artist on ALIEN, ABYSS, WILLOW, MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE, 5th ELEMENT and soooooooo much more. This series should ROCK!!!!
