PoAnimaViz

"En sortant de l'école" is an inspiring collection of 3-minute animated short films, spanning 10 seasons from 2014 to 2023. Each season consists of 13 episodes, bringing a poem to life in animation. The first eight seasons pay tribute to poets such as Jacques Prévert, Robert Desnos, Guillaume Apollinaire, Paul Éluard, Claude Roy, Jacques Tardieu, Paul Verlaine, and Andrée Chedid. The last two seasons delve into themes touching the core of humanity, Freedom and Friendship, by combining works from various poets.

These poems are brought to life by the creativity of young directors, freshly graduated from the best French animation schools. This extraordinary series, produced by Tant Mieux Production, invites you to a visually dazzling and poetic journey.

Now discover the visualizations that PoAnimaViz (Poems, Animations, Visualizations) offers, based on data such as the film title, director, animation school where the director graduated, animation technique used, color palette used, number of poem words, poet, episode, season, and production year of each film. The goal of these visualizations is to highlight the art and poetry hidden behind each episode in an innovative way. Dive into a poetic universe and explore different visualizations to learn more about this unique series.

Animation techniques are divided into 5 categories: Traditional, Digital, Cut-out, Stop Motion, and Mixed. Here's a brief explanation of each category:

Traditional: These animations are hand-drawn or give the impression of being hand-drawn, even if they were made using a computer. They retain the classic and artistic aspect of traditional drawing.
Digital: These animations are entirely created using digital tools, such as 2D or 3D animation software. They have a more modern appearance and can include special effects.
Cut-out: This technique involves animating images cut out from paper or other materials. It is also possible to recreate this cut-out effect using software, but the animations thus created retain the appearance and characteristic style of traditional cut-out images.
Stop Motion: These are animations made using three-dimensional objects, such as figurines, models, or sculptures. These films have a more tangible appearance and can involve techniques such as stop-motion.
Mixed: This category encompasses films that combine several animation techniques or that do not easily fit into the other categories. They can be hybrid, experimental, or simply unique in their approach.

Explore the five categories of visualizations that use the previously mentioned data to reveal different aspects of the series:

City (little and big) hid

Episodes of the series "En Sortant de l'école" are depicted in an urban form (bar graph), where each building (bar) corresponds to an episode. Small and large cities illustrate different perspectives on the series, showing various levels of detail.

World (little and big) hi

The episodes are presented in the form of an imaginary world (radial graph), where each element corresponds to an episode of the series. Small and large worlds depict an animated universe, in which each element is uniquely associated with the series.

Matrix hi

In this visualization, a data matrix (like a heatmap) is displayed, each cell representing an episode from the series. This visualization highlights the connections between the various episodes, schools, and techniques, facilitating navigation between the works.

Galaxy hi

The episodes are represented as stars in a galaxy. Each episode shines with the color corresponding to the animation technique used, inviting you on a journey through the various schools. In this depiction, it's possible to explore different animation techniques and schools by interacting with the nodes.

Flower hid

Admire the episodes in the form of flowers with multicolored petals. Each flower represents an episode, and its petals symbolize the animation techniques and color palettes used. Hovering over each flower reveals the name of the episode and its director.
