Like all excellent French animations, the art design of this film is really artistic. What’s different is that Gary uses a kind of 3D rendering technique we called non-photoreal rendering. By rendering with this method, the image will be more like hand-drawing or other painting styles but not a traditional 3D looking. In Gary, its character and scenes were rendered like something painted by crayons. Moreover, to imitate more closely to a hand-drawing animation, it rendered the big boy with a non-stop faltering colors and lines. It makes the film just like an old 2D animation because of its inaccurate coloration.
The story of this film is also very interesting. Creator uses what children think and like as main elements to compose the story. Having a secret crush with an older sister, drawing something and playing with it, imaging fantasy dreams with some ordinary items and so on. It will let audience recall their own childhood and have a kind of emotion connection with this film. If a story can touch people’s private feelings deep in mind, it will be successful.
Sadly, Gary Official Website doesn’t work now. As all excellent animation films, Gary should have a lot of splendid art designs and some films about how they make this animation too. It’s a pity we can’t see that. In Motiongrapher, you can see a brief interview about Gary.
