The King of Bling Bling:

The King of Bling Bling: the second episode makes a triumph! The word has spread within two days: the new clip directed by Mixus studios is online. The 3D impersonation of the French President, episode 1 –the King of Bling Bling -, had been a huge success round the world and the second episode had to meet the expectations!

In this brand new episode, the President has taken the next step: he’s now King of the World.

Two months of hard work for a great result!

Sylvain Delmé, director of the clip and a LightWave 3D ® artist, and the whole team involved in the project, have worked hard to offer the audience a very entertaining animation clip!

LightWave 3D®, the King of Softwares?

When carrying out the project, Sylvain Delmé did the whole rendering with NewTek LightWave. When it comes to NewTek 3D Software: “We’re extremely satisfied with LightWave, I haven’t got in any trouble when directing the video clip,” said Sylvain Delmé.
“I also used the Plug-In HD Instance to deal with “crowd” scenes, such as making it look like there are a lot of people, whereas I only designed 4 or 5 characters, then duplicated them. Also, LightWave happens to be highly compatible with other softwares, such as Motion Builder.”

200,000 viewers on Daily Motion after three days!

Nicolas seems to pay a very funny tribute to Elvis Presley, looking just like him, dancing on the beat, performing and singing with the help of a very special choir...
... Starring Barrack Obama himself!!!

The President impersonation is praised by both the audience and the media - TV channels, radio stations, magazines...
Don’t speak French? Do watch the show anyway whenever you get a chance: the 3D animation is worth watching it. In the meantime, the artists at Mixus Studios are considering a translation in English!

Featured on Youtube the next 15 days, the clip is on the 4 MTV TV channels 5 times a day, and even once an hour on MTV idol! It’s not a success, it’s a triumph!!
