Illogic’s “Maestro” Takes Control in New Short Film

The animation directing team Illogic broke wide in 2017 with their extraordinary (and Oscar-nominated) CG grad film “Garden Party.” Their follow up project “Maestro” expands the cast beyond amphibians but retains all the craft and careful detail of their debut.

The six original members of Illogic (Florian Babikian, Vincent Bayoux, Victor Caire, Théophile Dufresne, Gabriel Grapperon, and Lucas Navarro), formed the group during their studies at French animation school MOPA.

“Maestro” was produced at Bloom Pictures, the collective’s new animation studio in Montpellier, France.
