The Demon of Noon – bringing an emotion to life
This project originated from an entry in the ‘First Page’ competition, held annually for recent graduates. It is an adaptation of the opening page of Paul Bourget’s novel *Le Démon de midi*, published in 1914.

These images explore the reunion with a loved one, conveyed through movement and visual contrasts. Every detail has been carefully considered to ensure the emotion is felt immediately. The felt-pen animation tests depict a business dinner scene between Louis Savignan and other prominent figures from the city of Clermont-Ferrand.
