The Lighthouse Keeper is a beautifully realized short (3 minute) animation that won the award for “Best Graduation Film” from the 2010 Annecy festival.
The film was created by a team of students (credits on the Vimeo page) graduating from the amazing Gobelins, l’école de l’image in Paris.
(See my previous posts about Gobelins students’ animations for Annecy, or a general search of Lines and Colors for other mentions.)

Bravo! The prize was well deserved. Definitely amazing “Gobelins, l’école de l’image”.
Gorgeous design and use of lighting, on top of good storytelling. Thanks for sharing!
I have such a soft spot for animation, and this short is no exception. Great post, and added it to my monthly roundup on my blog!
