Nicolas Lichtle Creates Personal Film Combining Poetry, Absurdity and Surrealism

artist · 2026-03-24

Nicolas Lichtle, a senior motion designer at studio Mada Mada, has completed a personal film project after one year of work. The non-commissioned piece blends various techniques including green screen footage manipulation, 3D elements, frame-by-frame drawing, and photographic cutting. Lichtle handled all aspects of production independently, including sound design, and incorporated music from Clark's album Kiki Variations. The work represents an intimate exploration through poetic, absurd, and surreal moments rather than traditional fiction or animation.
