Making of Belleville Rendez-Vous
Making of Belleville Rendez-Vous

Description: This is a framegrab from the making of 'Belleville Rendez-Vous', a great French animation about a little boy who grows up with the dream of cycling in the Tour de France. He gets kidnapped and has to be rescued by his grandma and their pet dog. It's a great film and it's out on Tartan DVD, they don't use region coding... Independant film is just better!

In 2002, what do you think an animation studio uses to work on their project? Macs? Some SGI workstation with custom applications and things? No. Almost ten years after it was designed, here is an Amiga 4000.

I wonder what state the RTC battery is in?

Looks like they're doing a pencil test (testing frames before commiting to final animation) The Amiga was quite popular for that. Ren & Stimpy was tested this way as well as TinyToon Adventures.

I used it for this very purpose myself with DigiView, and DCTV. Impressive for 1989.

Great film!

It was on the cover of a newspaper here in Greece, didnt expect much when I got it, but I was very imressed ;-)

Btw, two thumbs up from me adding the fact it was made on an Amiga!

I would have thought they'd encode it in the right aspect ratio... weird.

Anyway, as a side-note, I just found out this film is actually called 'Les Triplettes de Belleville' pretty much everywhere that's not the UK, ha ha, so sorry if it confused anyone ;-)

That's an anamorphic dvd.. if you stretch it to the 16:9 aspcet ratio, it should be about correct.

Don't squish it, but stretch it horizontally, squishing kind of ruins the idea of anamorphic DVD. :-)

In case you're wondering, yes the image is a little squished horizontally. That's why it looks a little bit too tall to be an A4000. This is how it was on the DVD :-)
