Gangpol & Mit

Recently, for the module in which I have to create a character, model sheet, and 3D model, I have been researching a pair of artists known as Gangpol and Mit, a french duo who work together to create animations, commonly set to music. Gangpol, as I understand it, works on the audio aspect of the animations, while Mit works on the visual aspect of the animations. This led to their motto being, 'Sonic and Visual in love'.

Their visual style is based upon the use of vividly colourful geometric shapes to create characters and environments, while the audio is typically based on electronic music. An example of their work I particularly enjoy, which I think shows off their style well, can be seen below:

I have been mainly using their blog to research them, as this has a variety of information, and a good selection of animation examples. Their blog also has updates from them, on what they are currently working on, such as coming exhibitions, and their 'videos' page also shows their previous work. Their blog can be found at:

Using the research I have carried out, I hope to use this to influence how I create my character for the current module; for both the model sheet, and the 3D model itself.
