One-Man Team Creates Film Using 3D Printing and Stop-Motion Animation

Chase Me is an animated film made entirely out of 2,500 individual 3D-printed parts

Chase Me is a stop-motion animated film directed by Gilles-Alexandre Deschaud using only parts made with a 3D printer. It took him two years of blocking, design, printing, filming and editing to create the whole feature, which is about embracing fears and turning them into something beautiful.

Deschaud printed over 2,500 individual components using a Form 1 + 3D printer, each made to 1,000 micron resolution. They required little finishing apart from support material integrated into the printing prospects.

Large objects, like trees, were printed in smaller pieces and assembled. The protagonist was printed in various sizes for wide-angle and close-up shots.

A CG animator by trade, Deschaud animated each scene prior to printing the components. He made the changes he wanted during this step so he would waste no time or materials during the printing stage. He took his mise-en-scene from CG models, then created the finished product with stop-motion techniques. All animations were finished to spec for 15 frames per second.

Deschaud has spent the past seven years in the VFX industry as a digital artist and animator, experimenting through a variety of 2D and 3D mediums. This led to his experiment with 3D printing.

He chose the Form 1 + 3D printer because it would allow him to create detailed, complex prints he needed to fully realize his vision.

Fomlabs, the Boston-based manufacturer of the Form 1+, is excited about Chase Me, with co-founder Max Lobovsky going so far to to say innovation like the film is what inspires him to keep pushing the 3D printing technology forward.

Chase Me has not yet been released. You can check their Facebook page for announcements about when and where viewings will happen, and see the trailer on the movie website.
