 Interview with Philippe Taboureau 3D designer of Raoul Servais' famous "Tank"Raoul Servais is an award winning Belgium animation film director recipient of prizes including the Golden Palm at Cannes film festival 1979 for short film Harpya and the Grand Prix of Annecy in 1997 for his short film Moths. Next October he will be presenting his latest short film Tank in preview during the Ghent International Film Festival. He presented this at the 55th edition of the Annecy Animation FIlm Festival. 
Philippe Taboureau was a student of the school established in 1963, the first animation school in Europe within the Royal Academy of Arts of Ghent.
Taboureau was enrolled in the school where Servais will graduate in 2016. At first he had to model a tank by making the necessary research to remain historically faithful to the original English tanks of World War I and had to allow 2D artists to conceive and respect the perspective of the Tank with precision in the reproduction. Servais and his team decided to preserve the work of Taboureau and will design the only 3D element of this short film. With a small team of eight people completing the film in only one year.
Servais is known to work with his students whom he chooses soon after they graduate. Taboureau described as a humble man whom in the face of new technologies understands how to put his artist ego aside and call on the knowledge of other creators and technicians.
At 46 years old Philippe feared that this environment in search(research) for constant performance would be destabilized by time. Nevertheless having followed the studies of psychology, philosophy, having learned Sanskrit and realized he returns to his original dream integrating the brilliantly the Royal Academy of Arts of Ghent by the 86-year-old young man whom is Raoul Servais. It would be unthinkable that this talented 3D designer will not find his way.
