Arnaud creates a shadow fresco

The objects that make up Arnaud’s silhouette are not shown beforehand, at Louis’ request, but it just turns out to be a bunch of card.

Arnaud’s recreation is titled ‘Arnaud et le Loup’ (‘Arnaud and the Wolf’). Unlike the other contestants, Arnaud’s recreation is a single still image, and not a short scene filmed in silhouette. Arnaud’s picture consists of a large wolf howling at the moon, while Arnaud stands nearby with his arms spread, sticking his tongue out at the wolf, and grimacing.

In the studio, Arnaud backs up his attempt by claiming that he wasn’t aware that he was meant to make a short film (which was never actually specified in the task brief), so he had made a “shadow fresco”. He also states that he’d made the (actually quite impressive) wolf himself.

Louis awards Arnaud fourth place.
