Nathan, a professional high-diver, is about to take the plunge in a major diving competition. As he ascends toward the top of the diving platform, Nathan recalls all the efforts he has made in his love life. He thinks of Lalu, the love of his life, who has always supported his ambition, while he, in turn, gradually neglected her in favor of his passion.
Reaching the highest platform, Nathan faces a crucial choice: should he dive toward his ambitions or toward his love?

"Le plongeon" is the 2 years thesis movie I work on alongside 2 teammates. For the first year ( development phase ) I worked on character design and artistic development. I then proceed for the second year ( production phase ) to be lead 2D animator and background color artist.
