They are fab, they are French and they have been making eye-catching digital video work since 1990, using classical tools and systems, and mixing in real drawings, objects and animation. This exuberant, full-color book highlights many of the projects Kuntzel+Deygas, the fertile, Paris-based duo, has tackled in recent years. Some are for real, like the sprightly, sixties-tinged opening titles for Steven Spielberg's Catch Me If You Can. Some are just for fun, like their Com-Pet, a robot that serves as a virtual dog, to aid communication between people in situations where dogs aren't allowed. The partnership describes its work as Drawing + motion + photo + objects + video + print + dance + set design + CG effects, and they insist on connections with the plus sign, to indicate that "We can jump from simplicity to sophistication". In any case, they do more than design: in almost every case, they create lively, engrossing characters that tell a story, whether the client is a musician like Beatrice Ardisson or Bertrand Burgalet, or a product like YSL perfume, British HSBC Bank or Coca-Cola Japan. The stars of this publication are the irresistible team of dogs, Caperino & Peperone, who scamper over the products of French style merchant Colette. An inspiring journey into the minds of a unique partnership, Kuntzel + Deygas.
