Skwigly.com presents Animation One-To-Ones featuring Ben Mitchell in conversation with Janice Nadeau.

Continuing her relationship with the National Film Board of Canada and French animation studio Folimage, Janice has recently followed up on her short films 'No Fish Where to Go' (2014) and 'Mamie' (2016) with 'Harvey', which plays in competition this week at the 2023 Annecy International Animation Festival in the Young Audiences category. 

An adaptation of the children’s graphic novel 'Harvey: How I Became Invisible' by Hervé Bouchard, for which she did the illustrations, the animated film version depicts a young boy who candidly recalls the spring day when his world turned upside down; a poetic examination of bereavement and coping with the loss of a parent rendered in the director’s distinctive and appealingly traditional illustrative style.

A three-time recipient of Canada’s prestigious Governor General’s Literary Award, Janice currently teaches at the UQAM School of Design in Montreal.

The makers of Chuck Steel: Night Of The Trampires let us behind the scenes of the creation of the film. The event took place at Cardiff Animation Festival, which happened at Chapter Arts Centre, Cardiff, on April 19-21. 

The stop-motion action comedy follows maverick cop Chuck Steel as he tries to save LA from a scourge of Trampires. Director Mike Mort, art director Bridget Phelan, animation supervisor Darren Thompson and producer Randhir Singh, spoke to animator Laura Tofarides about the film's 80s visuals, producing an animated feature in Bridgend and advice for young animators at Cardiff Animation Festival.
