This is Zaza, my puppet.
As I always get inspired by and stand for creativity, I am introducing a new way to animate my account : Zaza is taking over my insta to become your favorite influencer.
Today sharing every aspect of my life does not resonate in me the way it used to and I do not feel like I want to play this social media game anymore.
By creating this animated character - in stop motion - I refuse the status quo and I choose a more creative path, to tell you stories in a different way.
Zaza loves to be in the spotlights, she loves fashion and beauty, and I a sure you will love her ! ❤️

Zaza comes to life in this video for the very first time thanks to :
The animation of the great @kimkongdotcom
The light of the best @simongesrel
The perfect post-production of @dvna___dvna @nujabesuu @samuel___ch
And @cubeproduct ´sound design

I will tell you more about the puppet making later ! #stopmotion #stopframeanimation #stopmolovers #puppet #puppetmaking by @elsamuse

There is no greater gift at Christmas than the gift of emotion. Thank you, Elsa, for this new emotion to add to my collection. Now I can wink! 🎁😉
Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate it. Love you, Zaza

AUTUMN BEAUTY POTIONS 🍂🌿 by @elsamuse

Lucia’s first big production. 🤍

I had just given birth when @publicisluxe asked me to pitch for this Cartier project. It was such a dream project that I decided to send my treatment anyway. And I got it !

What followed was one of the most beautiful and challenging creative adventures of my life. And Lucia was there for all of it. Every Zoom, every meeting with the artisans, every step of pre-production. During the months of shooting, I was still breastfeeding, and she would sleep on me at night… I’m still recovering, to be honest 😂

I was incredibly lucky to be surrounded by such wonderful people. From the very beginning, both @publicisluxe and Cartier welcomed Lucia’s presence throughout this adventure with so much kindness and generosity, making this special chapter of my life feel completely natural.

And somehow, this whole adventure became a very female one: an amazing female creative team at Publicis with @helenekerbiquetalazard @geraldine_bis Margaux Courveaulle and Marion Maggiorani, wonderful women on Cartier side including Charlotte Temam, incredible women artisans @mathildejonquiere @anne_feat_ @atelier_midavaine @atelierslisondecaunes @myriamhubertglass ,my @kimkongdotcom and her wonderful team of female animators @patriciasourdes @heloise_petel @emma_raca_sse , and also @morganesceno Elise, Christine, Jasmina, Anne-Lise, Francka, Amandine, Clara… even a future mother on the Publicis team. There was such a special energy around this project. So much talent, care, generosity and women supporting women.
A very special thank you to Anne and Virginie at @watchoutagency ,the wonderful production team behind these films, who took such beautiful care of both of us throughout the project. They were even there at home with Lucia during some of my biggest PPMs, giving me the space to focus on presenting my ideas and storyboards. I will never forget that 🤍

These five films will always mean much more to me than the work itself. They will remind me of this extraordinary moment when creativity, motherhood and an incredible group of women all came together 🫶🏻
And Lucia, one day I’ll tell you how this beautiful adventure began with you right by my side! 🤍 by @elsamuse

The Panther and the Zebra, another chapter of the extraordinary series I had the chance to direct for Cartier and @publicisluxe ❤️

For this fable, we explored glass marquetry with @myriamhubertglass , a completely new material and animation language. I loved finding ways to bring the glass itself to life: shifting pieces within the fresco, playing with light and reflections, and even breaking the material into tiny fragments, frame by frame.

A special thank you to the brilliant creative team at Publicis Luxe lead by @helenekerbiquetalazard and her team @geraldine_bis Margaux Courveaulle and Marion Maggiorani for imagining these fables, for the beautiful idea of bringing each one into dialogue with a different métier d’art, and for trusting me to bring them to life through stop-motion.

It has been a real privilege to work alongside people who are so talented, passionate and demanding in the very best way. Projects like this push you to go further, to learn, to experiment and to make every detail matter. a learning, inspiring and enriching experience for me.🙏🏻🙌🏻

Métiers d’art, Cartier High Jewellery and Watchmaking, and stop-motion, all coming together. My idea of ultimate luxury!!!! ✨

Thank you Publicis Luxe and Cartier for this extraordinary creative adventure.

The Panther and the Zebra, another chapter of th by @elsamuse

The Panther and the Crocodile 🐊 a new chapter of the extraordinary series I had the chance to direct for Cartier.

For this fable, we entered the fascinating world of lacquer with @atelier_midavaine 🙌🏻 another exceptional métier d’art, another material, and an entirely new language to explore through stop-motion.

For each film, I wanted the animation to be born from the craft itself. Here, I explored the very nature of lacquer: its liquid state, its depth, and the successive layers that are built up by the artisan over time.

These gestures and properties became part of our animation language. Liquid lacquer could flow and transform, while other sequences were revealed through scratching and removing layers, frame by frame, using the very construction of lacquer to create movement.

This is what makes this project so unique to me: an artisan d’art creates an extraordinary piece by hand, Cartier High Jewellery becomes part of that world, and stop-motion brings the material itself to life.

A rare meeting of métiers d’art, precious materials, exceptional jewellery and animation 💥 where every detail is about time, gesture and savoir-faire.

My idea of ultimate luxury. ✨

Marrying one of my closest friends to the loveliest man 🤍 @k_b_l_t and @antoniocrobyn ❤️💃🏼🕊️💍 by @elsamuse

A few moments from behind the scenes of our Cartier films.

Gold leaf, tiny gestures, endless frames, eyes on the monitor… and Zaza, of course, right in the middle of it all.

These are the moments I love most, when an idea slowly becomes real, frame by frame, surrounded by people whose talent makes everything possible.

So lucky to have shared this adventure with @kimkongdotcom @simongesrel , and with the most wonderful team. 🤍

Swipe for a little glimpse behind the magic.
