“Images are a universal language everyone can understand”
Swiss cartoonist Alain Auderset on how his ‘Willy Grunch’ animation video went viral on Facebook. His new project, a “book without words” to share the gospel.
coeur 32
Alain Auderset lives with his family in a typical Swiss house, and loves to be surrounded by nature. In the last years, the artist's comic stories have had a significant impact (110,000 books sold) both in his country and beyond: France, Germany, USA... A part from his designer facet, Alain plays rock music with the Saahsal band and speaks about arts, life and God at schools, cultural associations, churches and any other places he is invited to.
 alain auderset
A 2-minute animation film he created 3 years ago his character Willy Grunch suddenly became viral on Facebook in March when an unknown Russian Facebook page posted his video. After some days, 3 million people had seen it. Auderset explains the details of the story in his Evangelical Focus Magazine section: Buzzzz. In this interview, we also asked Alain about his new project to share the Bible message through drawings, his project “Heart”.
Question. Your Willy Grunch video suddenly went viral. How many visits has it? Did you expect something like this? Answer. What is amazing about this buzz is not only that it has been seen 3.7 million times on the Russian site, but the fact that the same cartoon started to appear on other sites which are not connected to each other. Theen they told me about the video being posted on a site in Egypt, where it had half a million views in only two days. On another site from Venezuela it had 1.7 million more. It also appeared in France, and many other places. Right now we have surpassed the 28 million views, and it continues. So no, I did not expect this. And yet, it all began exactly the same day I asked God for this project. On March, the 5th.
Q. Has this opened new doors for you as an author?
A. Yes, the 20 Minutes newspaper in Switzerland wrote about the video, and 2 million readers could read that God listens to our prayers. But more things are coming. The Moondog Animation Studio, the people with whom I did Willy Grunch, have started to search for the funds to create new episodes. Everyone can participate (here!) and help that new cartoons in the same line become a reality. I wrote two scripts which I think can touch a lot of people, at least as much as the first one!
Q. Speaking of your other new project, “Coeur”. In the whole book there is not one single word, but the message is very easy to understand and is presented in a funny way. What audience were you thinking about?
A. What is great about this is that images are a universal language everyone can understand. From children to adults (although older people are less used to understand visual contents). We are a generation that has grown up surrounded by images from the television, from films, cartoons and comics. So, the book is addressed to everyone, be it Westerners, Asians, Africans… It’s the ‘magic’ of image.
Q. What we do find turning the pages of the book is numbers (1,2,3…) which are connected to Bible verses at the end. Did you build the whole story on biblical texts?
A. In this book I wanted to summarise the essence of the Gospel, which consists in the gift of the life of the Son of God given for us, and salvation by Grace. The blood of Jesus washes us clean. So yes, in the book one finds a concentrated message of the Bible.
Q. Do you think people can identify with this ‘dirty heart’ in your book? Do people see themselves as lost and in need to be cleaned?
A. I think people do not admit their weaknesses in front of others, but when they are alone and honest with themselves, they realise that they have needs. At the same time, most people lie to themselves about their condition. Somehow we all believe we are better than others. Even us, the Christians, isn’t it true? So we need the action of the Holy Spirit to convince people where they really are. If we want this book to be efficient, we should distribute it with the complicity of the Holy Spirit, because it is only Him who touches the hearts.
coeur 42
Q. One part of the story is when the King harms himself to let something new out. What did you want to communicate with this part?
A. The fact that God gave his Son brought great suffering to Him. Jesus is the most important 'thing' God the Father had. Glory and honour, gold, silver and other things he created, he could re-create whenever he wanted to. But giving his Son for us, who did not deserve it all, must have been terrible. So here we have the most beautiful proof of love one could imagine.
Q. A question you may have heard other times. Does your faith make you a “Christian artist”?
A. I consider myself to be a friend of God and it turns out that I also draw.
Q. Finally, if anyone wanted to get some copies of the book, how can they contact you?
A. Very easy, just write me an email to this address: atelier@auderset.com

“Les images ont un langage universel que tout le monde comprend”
Le dessinateur de BD Suisse, Alain Auderset, à propos de son dessin animé ‘Willy Grunch’ qui a fait un buzz sur Facebook. Son nouveau projet, une “BD sans paroles” pour évangéliser.
coeur 32
Alain Auderset habite, ensemble avec sa famille, dans une maison typiquement suisse et aime être entouré par la nature. Ces dernières années, les histoires dessinées de l'artiste ont eu un impact certain (110'000 de livres vendus) dans son pays et ailleurs dans le monde : en France, en Allemagne, aux USA ... Une autre facette du dessinateur : Alain joue de la musique rock dans le groupe Saahsal et parle de son art, de la vie et de Dieu dans des écoles, associations culturelles, églises et d'autres places où on l'invite.
 alain auderset
Une vidéo d'un dessin animé de 2 minutes qu'il a créé il y a 3 ans avec son personnage Willy Grunch a subitement fait un buzz sur Facebook au mois de mars quand un Russe inconnu l'a publiée sur sa page. Après quelques jours, 3 millions de personnes l'avait visionnée. Auderset explique les détails de cette histoire dans sa section Buzzzz de l'Evangelical Focus Magazine. Dans cette interview, nous avons aussi interrogé Alain sur son nouveau projet pour partager le message de la Bible au moyen de dessins, son projet "Coeur".
1. Ta vidéo a subitement fait un buzz mondial. Combien de vues y a t-il maintenant? Est-ce que tu t'es attendu à quelque chose du genre? Ce qui est impressionnant avec ce buzz, c’est non seulement qu’il y en ait eu un de 3,7 mio en Russie, mais qu’en plus, d’autres avec exactement le même dessin animé et sans être connecté à celui de la Russie ont commencé à divers endroits du monde. Hier, par exemple, j’ai appris qu’il y en a un en Egypte qui a fait un demi million de vue en seulement deux jours. Puis un autre au Venezuela, qui a dépassé 1,7 mio. Puis en France etc. etc. En ce moment, nous avons dépassé 7,5 mio et ça ne fait qu’augmenter. Alors, non, je ne m’attendais pas à cela, et pourtant, tout a commencé exactement le même jour où je l’ai demandé à Dieu. C’est-à-dire le 5 mars. 2. Est-ce que cela a ouvert de nouvelles portes pour toi comme auteur et, en particulier, pour la BD de Willy Grunch? Alors oui, car le journal 20minutes de mon pays en a parlé et de nouveau plus de 2 millions de personnes ont pu lire un article me concernant dans lequel je dis que Dieu écoute les prières. Mais le plus extraordinaire reste encore à venir. Comme vous pouvez le voir sur www.willygrunch.com le studio Moondog Animation, avec qui je réalise ce dessin animé, a commencé à collecter des fonds pour créer de nouveaux dessins animés. Tout le monde peut y participer et permettre que d’autres dessins animés du même genre voient le jour. J’ai déjà écrit deux scénarios qui, je le pense, pourront toucher beaucoup beaucoup de gens. Au moins autant que le premier! 3. Dans tout le livre “Coeur”, on ne trouve aucune parole, mais le message est très simple à comprendre, et en plus, il est présenté de manière très humoristique. Quelle audience (quels lecteurs) as-tu voulu atteindre? Ce qui est génial avec le dessin, c'est que l'image a un langage universel que tout le monde peut comprendre. De l'enfant à l'adulte (les personnes âgées par contre ont moins l'habitude et moins de facilité à comprendre ce langage). Nous sommes une génération qui a été formée au langage de l'image par les pubs, la télé, les films, les comics et cartoons. Donc, mon livre s'adresse un peu à tout le monde qu'il soit occidental, oriental, africain ou autre. C'est ça la “magie” de l'image. 4. Tout au long de la BD, on peut trouver des chiffres (1,2,3…) , qui finalement sont des références à la Bible. Est-ce que toute l'histoire est basée sur des textes bibliques? Dans ce livre, j'ai voulu résumer l'essence même de l'Evangile qui consiste dans le don de la vie du Fils de Dieu pour nous; nous sommes sauvés par Sa grâce. Le sang de Jésus nous lave. C'est donc bien un concentré du message essentiel de la Bible.   5. Penses-tu que les lecteurs puissent s'identifier au coeur qui est sale au début?Est-ce que les gens se voient eux-mêmes comme perdus et ayant besoin d'être purifiés d'une certaine manière? Je pense que les gens n'avouent pas en public qu'ils ont des faiblesses, par contre parfois quand ils sont seuls et honnêtes avec eux-mêmes, ils savent de ce dont ils ont besoin. La grande majorité de gens se ment à soi-même quant à leur condition. Quelque part, nous nous croyons tous meilleurs que les autres. Même les croyants. (Pas vrai ? :-) )Donc, on a besoin de l'action du Saint Esprit pour convaincre les gens de qui ils sont réellement. Pour une totale efficacité, ce livre doit donc être distribué avec la complicité du Saint Esprit, car c'est lui qui touche vraiment les coeurs. (Et je sais que depuis que le livre se fait un peu distribuer partout, beaucoup de gens prient à ce sujet)
coeur 42
6. Une partie de l'histoire raconte que le Roi se blesse soi-même pour laisser quelque chose sortir de lui-même. Qu'as-tu voulu faire comprendre par cette partie? Lorsque Dieu a donné son fils, c'était pour lui une souffrance. Car son fils Jésus, c'est tout ce qu'il a. La gloire et l'honneur, l'or l'argent sont des choses qu'il a créé lui-même et qu'il peut recréer quand il veut. Mais son Fils est unique. Donner son Fils pour les brutes que nous sommes, ce devait être terrible. C'est aussi la plus belle preuve d'amour qu'on puisse imaginer.   7. Le contenu de ce livre est clairement centré sur l'Evangile, est-ce que cela fait de toi un “artiste chrétien”? Ou bien, comment tu te décrirais toi-même? Je me considère comme un ami de Dieu et il se trouve que je dessine. 8. Si quelqu'un a envie de se procurer des copies de ton livre, comment peut-il te contacter? Très facile, il suffit de m'écire à cette adresse : atelier@auderset.com Si vous désirez en savoir plus sur le livre, voir http://www.auderset.com/fr/bd-sans-parole

“Bilder sprechen eine universelle Sprache”
Der Schweizer Komikzeichner Alain Auderset über den Buzz seines Zeichentrickfilms ‘Willy Grunch’ auf Facebook. Sein neues Projekt : ein “Komik ohne Worte” zum Verbreiten des Evangeliums.
coeur 32
Alain Auderset lebt zusammen mit seiner Familie in einen typischen Schweizerhaus, und liebt es von der Natur umgeben zu sein. In den letzten Jahren haben die Komiks des Künstlers einen beträchtlichen Eindruck hinterlassen (110,000 Bücher vekauft) sowohl in seinem Land als auch in : Frankreich, Deutschland, den USA...  Eine andere Fassette des Künstlers : Alain spielt Rockmusik in der Band Saahsal und spricht über seine Kunst, das Leben und Gott; dies in Schulen, kulturellen Vereinigungen, Kirchen und jedem andern Ort, wohin er eingeladen wird.
 alain auderset
Ein 2-minütiger Zeichentrickfilm mit seiner Figur Willy Grunch, den er vor drei Jahren gemacht hat, hat auf Facebook plötzlich gebuzzt. Und zwar im März, als ein unbekannter Russe das Video auf seiner Facebookseite geteilt hat. Nach ein paar Tagen hatten schon 3 Millionen Leute das Video angeklickt. Auderset erklärt die Details in seinem Bereich des Evangelical Focus Magazine: Buzzzz. In diesem Interview haben wir Alain auch über sein neues Projekt "Herz" befragt, das dazu beitragen soll, die Botschaft der Bibel ohne Worte zu verbreiten.
  1. Dein Video hat plötzlich gebuzzt... und dies weltweit. Wieviele Klicks hat es jetzt erreicht ? Und hattest du etwas in diesem Stil erwartet ? Was bei diesem Buzz so beeindruckend ist, ist nicht nur die Tatsache, dass allein in Russland schon 3.7 Mio Klicks erreicht worden sind, sondern auch der gleichzeitige Erfolg desselben Videos an verschiedenen Orten der Welt, ohne irgendeinen Zusmmenhang mit Russland. Gestern zum Beispiel, habe ich erfahren, dass das Video in Aegypten in nur zwei Tagen schon über eine halbe Million mal angeklickt worden ist. Dann auch in Venezuela mit über 1.7 Mio Klicks. In Frankreich auch usw. Zur Zeit haben wir die 7.5 Millionen überschritten und es geht im gleichen Stil weiter. Also, nein, ich habe so etwas nicht erwartet, und dennoch, alles hat genau an dem Tag angefangen, an dem ich Gott darum gebeten habe. Das heisst am 5. März. 2. Hat es dir neue Türen geöffnet als Autor, und besonders in Bezug auf den Komik Willy Grunch ? Ja, denn 20Minuten, eine Zeitung meines Landes hat darüber berichtet, und mehr als 2 Millionen Leute haben einen Artikel über mich lesen können, in dem ich sage, dass Gott Gebete erhört. Aber das Beste kommt noch. Wie Ihr es auf  www.willygrunch.com sehen könnt, hat das Studio Moondog Animation, mit dessen Mithilfe ich diesen Zeichentrickfilm habe verwirklichen können, begonnen, neue Geldmittel zusammenzutragen zur Schaffung von neuen Zeichentrickfilmen. Jeder kann dazu beitragen, dass andere Zeichentrickfilme im gleichen Stil zustande kommen. Ich habe schon zwei Szenarien geschrieben, die – so denke ich – viele Leute berühren werden. Mindestens so intensiv wie das Erste !   3. Im ganzen « Herz » Buch, ist kein einziges Wort zu finden. Aber die Botschaft ist einfach zu verstehen, und zudem auf eine sehr humoristische Weise dargestellt. Welche Leserschaft wolltest du erreichen ? Was mit Zeichnungen genial ist, ist die Tatsache, dass Bilder eine Universalsprache sprechen, die jeder verstehen kann. Vom Kind bis zum Erwachsenen (ältere Leute sind es sich aber weniger gewöhnt, und haben es deshalb schwerer, diese Sprache zu verstehen). Wir sind eine Generation, die mit der Sprache des Bildes aufgewachsen ist, mit all der Werbung, den Filmen, Komiks und Kartoons. Das heisst, mein Buch richtet sich an Alle, ob aus dem Westen oder Osten oder aus Afrika oder sonstwoher. Das ist die « Magie » des Bildes.   4. Durch den gesamen Komik hindurch, findet man Zahlen (1,2,3…), welche sich schliesslich als Referenzen zur Bibel entpuppen. Ist die ganze Geschichte auf Bibeltexte basiert ? In diesem Buch wollte ich die Essenz des Evangeliums zusammenfassen, die darin besteht, dass der Sohn Gottes sein Leben für uns gegeben hat. Wir werden gerettet dank seiner Gnade. Das Blut Jesus reinigt uns. Es ist demnach wirklich ein Konzentrat der wesentlichen Botschaft der Bibel.   5. Denkst du, die Leser können sich mit dem am Anfang der Geschichte schmutzigem Herzen identifizieren ? Sehen sich die Menschen wirklich als verloren? Merken sie, dass sie auf gewisse Weise eine Reinigung benötigen? Ich glaube, dass die Leute öffentlich nicht zugeben, dass sie Schwächen haben, jedoch, wenn sie allein sind und mit sich selbst ehrlich sind, wohl wissen, was sie benötigen. Die grosse Mehrheit der Menschen belügt sich selbst in bezug auf ihren Zustand. Im gewisser Weise denken alle, sie seien besser als die anderen. Sogar die Gläubigen. (Nicht wahr ?:-) ) Wir haben daher die Hilfe des heiliges Geistes nötig, um den Menschen aufzuzeigen, wer sie wirklich sind. Damit dieses Buch voll effizient ist, muss er daher mit der Mitwirkung des heiligen Geistes verbreitet werden, denn er ist es, der die Herzen berührt. (Und ich weiss, dass viele Leute in diesem Sinn beten, seit das Buch ein bisschen überall verbreitet wird.)  
coeur 42
6. Ein Teil des Buches erzählt, wie der König sich selbst verletzt, um etwas Neues aus sich erstehen zu lassen. Was wolltest du mit diesem Teil zu verstehen geben ? Als Gott seinen Sohn gegeben hat, war das für ihn eine Tortur. Denn sein Sohn Jesus ist alles, was er hat. Ehre und Ruhm, Gold und Silber, sind Dinge, die er selbst erschaffen hat und wieder erschaffen kann, wann er will. Aber sein Sohn ist einzigartig. Seinen Sohn für uns Rohlinge hinzugeben musste schrecklich sein. Es ist aber auch der grösste Liebesbeweis, den man sich vorstellen kann. 7. Der Inhalt des Buches ist klar auf das Evangelium zentriert, macht das aus dir einen « christlichen » Künstler ? Oder wie würdest du dich selbst beschreiben ? Ich verstehe mich als Freund Gottes, und es ist so, dass ich zeichne. 8. Wenn jemand sich Kopien deines Buches bechaffen möchte, wie kann er dich erreichen ? Ganz einfach, er schreibt mich an unter : atelier@auderset.com Wer mehr über dieses Buch wissen möchte : http://www.auderset.com/de/bd-sans-parole

A 2-minute animation film he created 3 years ago his character Willy Grunch suddenly became viral on Facebook in March when an unknown Russian Facebook page posted his video. After some days, 3 million people had seen it. Auderset explains the details of the story in his Evangelical Focus Magazine section: Buzzzz. In this interview, we also asked Alain about his new project to share the Bible message through drawings, his project “Heart”.
Question. Your Willy Grunch video suddenly went viral. How many visits has it? Did you expect something like this? Answer. What is amazing about this buzz is not only that it has been seen 3.7 million times on the Russian site, but the fact that the same cartoon started to appear on other sites which are not connected to each other. Theen they told me about the video being posted on a site in Egypt, where it had half a million views in only two days. On another site from Venezuela it had 1.7 million more. It also appeared in France, and many other places. Right now we have surpassed the 28 million views, and it continues. So no, I did not expect this. And yet, it all began exactly the same day I asked God for this project. On March, the 5th.
Q. Has this opened new doors for you as an author?
A. Yes, the 20 Minutes newspaper in Switzerland wrote about the video, and 2 million readers could read that God listens to our prayers. But more things are coming. The Moondog Animation Studio, the people with whom I did Willy Grunch, have started to search for the funds to create new episodes. Everyone can participate (here!) and help that new cartoons in the same line become a reality. I wrote two scripts which I think can touch a lot of people, at least as much as the first one!
Q. Speaking of your other new project, “Coeur”. In the whole book there is not one single word, but the message is very easy to understand and is presented in a funny way. What audience were you thinking about?
A. What is great about this is that images are a universal language everyone can understand. From children to adults (although older people are less used to understand visual contents). We are a generation that has grown up surrounded by images from the television, from films, cartoons and comics. So, the book is addressed to everyone, be it Westerners, Asians, Africans… It’s the ‘magic’ of image.
Q. What we do find turning the pages of the book is numbers (1,2,3…) which are connected to Bible verses at the end. Did you build the whole story on biblical texts?
A. In this book I wanted to summarise the essence of the Gospel, which consists in the gift of the life of the Son of God given for us, and salvation by Grace. The blood of Jesus washes us clean. So yes, in the book one finds a concentrated message of the Bible.
Q. Do you think people can identify with this ‘dirty heart’ in your book? Do people see themselves as lost and in need to be cleaned?
A. I think people do not admit their weaknesses in front of others, but when they are alone and honest with themselves, they realise that they have needs. At the same time, most people lie to themselves about their condition. Somehow we all believe we are better than others. Even us, the Christians, isn’t it true? So we need the action of the Holy Spirit to convince people where they really are. If we want this book to be efficient, we should distribute it with the complicity of the Holy Spirit, because it is only Him who touches the hearts.
coeur 42
Q. One part of the story is when the King harms himself to let something new out. What did you want to communicate with this part?
A. The fact that God gave his Son brought great suffering to Him. Jesus is the most important 'thing' God the Father had. Glory and honour, gold, silver and other things he created, he could re-create whenever he wanted to. But giving his Son for us, who did not deserve it all, must have been terrible. So here we have the most beautiful proof of love one could imagine.
Q. A question you may have heard other times. Does your faith make you a “Christian artist”?
A. I consider myself to be a friend of God and it turns out that I also draw.
Q. Finally, if anyone wanted to get some copies of the book, how can they contact you?
A. Very easy, just write me an email to this address: atelier@auderset.com

Un corto de animación de 2 minutos que creó hace 3 años con su personaje Willy Grunch se hizo viral en Facebook de forma repentina en marzo, cuando una página de Facebook rusa publicó su video. Unos días después, lo habían visto 3 millones de personas. Auderset explica los detalles de la historia en su sección Cita con Dios del Cultural en Protestante Digital, en el artículo titulado “Buzzz”. En esta entrevista también le preguntamos a Alain sobre su nuevo proyecto para compartir el mensaje de la Biblia a través de dibujos, llamado “Coeur (Corazón)”. Pregunta. El vídeo de Willy Grunch se hizo viral de repente. ¿Cuántas visitas tiene? ¿Esperabas algo así? Respuesta. Lo asombroso de este revuelo que se ha montado no es sólo que tenga 3,7 millones de reproducciones en la página rusa, sino el hecho de que el mismo vídeo empezó a aparecer en otros sitios que no tienen relación entre sí. Después me dijeron que el vídeo se había publicado en una página de Egipto, donde tuvo medio millón de reproducciones en sólo dos días. En otra página de Venezuela tenía 1,7 millones más. También apareció en Francia y en muchos otros lugares. Ahora hemos superado los 28 millones de reproducciones, y aún sigue subiendo. Así que no, no me esperaba esto. Y sin embargo, todo comenzó exactamente el mismo día que oré a Dios pidiendo por este proyecto. El 5 de marzo.
P. ¿Te ha abierto esto nuevas puertas como autor?
R. Sí, el periódico 20 minutos en Suiza escribió un artículo sobre el video, y 2 millones de lectores pudieron leer que Dios escucha nuestras oraciones. Pero hay más cosas en camino. El estudio de animación Moondog, la gente con la que hice Willy Grunch, han empezado a buscar fondos para crear nuevos episodios. Todo el mundo puede participar (aquí) y ayudar a convertir en realidad nuevos dibujos en la misma línea de Willy Grunch. Escribí dos guiones que creo que pueden tocar a mucha gente, al menos tanto como el primero.
P. Hablemos de su nuevo proyecto, “Corazón”. No hay ni una sola palabra en todo el libro, pero el mensaje es muy fácil de entender y se presenta de manera divertida. ¿En qué audiencia estaban pensando?
R. Lo bueno de esto es que las imágenes son un lenguaje universal que todos pueden entender, desde los niños hasta los adultos (aunque las personas mayores están menos acostumbradas a entender el contenido visual). Somos una generación que ha crecido rodeada de imágenes gracias a la televisión, las películas, los dibujos animados y los cómics. Por eso, el libro está dirigido a todo el mundo, ya sean occidentales, asiáticos, africanos... Es la “magia” de la imagen.
P. Al pasar las páginas del libro vemos números (1,2,3...) que al final están conectados con versículos de la Biblia. ¿Creaste toda la historia a partir de los textos bíblicos?
R. En este libro he querido resumir la esencia del evangelio, que consiste en el regalo de la vida que dio el hijo de Dios por nosotros y la salvación por gracia. La sangre de Jesús nos limpia. Así que sí, en el libro puedes encuentrar un mensaje concentrado de la Biblia.
P. ¿Crees que la gente puede identificar con el “corazón sucio” de su libro? ¿Las personas se ven perdidas y creen que necesitan limpiarse?
R. Creo que las personas no admiten sus debilidades frente a otros, pero cuando están solos y son honestos consigo mismos, se dan cuenta de que tienen necesidades. Al mismo tiempo, la mayoría de la gente se miente a sí misma acerca de su condición. De alguna manera todos creemos que somos mejores que otros. Incluso nosotros, los cristianos, pensamos así, ¿no es cierto? Por eso es necesaria la acción del Espíritu Santo para convencer a la gente de lo que son realmente. Si queremos que este libro sea eficiente, debemos distribuirlo con la complicidad del Espíritu Santo, porque es Él y sólo Él el que toca los corazones.
coeur 42
P. Una parte de la historia es cuando el rey se daña a sí mismo para dejar que salga algo nuevo. ¿Qué querías comunicar con esta parte?
R. El hecho de que Dios dio a Su hijo trajo gran sufrimiento para él. Jesús es la “cosa” más importante para Dios padre. Él podía volver a crear cuando quisiera la gloria y el honor, el oro, la plata y todas las cosas que creó. Pero dar a su hijo por nosotros, que no lo merecíamos de ningún modo, debió ser terrible. Esa es la prueba de amor más hermosa que podríamos imaginar.
P. Una pregunta que puedes haber oído otras veces. ¿Tu fe te hace un “artista cristiano”?
R. Me considero amigo de Dios, y resulta que también dibujo.
P. Por último, si alguien quiere una copia del libro, ¿cómo puede ponerse en contacto contigo?
R. Es muy fácil, sólo tiene que escribirme un correo electrónico a esta dirección: atelier@auderset.com

Keeping Willy Grunch alive - A local company’s viral hit and a novel plan to revive it

AR-160429970.jpg&MaxW=840&q=90  

Three years ago, a small animation studio based in France called Moondog Animation Studios created a five-episode series about a lanky, trouble-prone guy named Willy Grunch. The company embarked on the project after Alain Auderset, the Swiss comic book artist who first created Willy, approached Studio Director JM Khayat about animating him.

So Moondog raised some money and made the five two-minute episodes about Willy Grunch, which they put on YouTube and Vimeo for anyone who was interested. Bryan Ransom, the company’s CEO, said they did some marketing for the series, but right around that time, they were also busy relocating the company from France to Mount Pleasant.

In the years since, Ransom said the series would often come up, and they would talk about how they could reinvigorate it, including exploring the possibility of making it a TV show. But for a number of reasons, the animated Willy Grunch stayed confined to his five episodes online.

“It was there, and it would rack up a couple hundred views every month or so,” said Ransom, “but it wasn’t like thousands upon thousands of millions.”

Virality

Then, just a about a month ago in mid-March, Auderset, the comic book artist, got an email. It was from a friend directing him to a Russian Facebook page. Whoever managed the page had posted one of Moondog’s Willy Grunch episodes, and it was popular.

Within a week, the video had three million views, and the guys at Moondog found other pages that posted the video, five in total, and there may be more. Altogether, they counted nearly seven million views from just about all over the world, and everywhere it went, people were talking about it.

“There were hundreds of thousands of shares. There were like three or four hundred comments,” Ransom said. “It was just going everywhere.”

At first, they were mad. After all, somebody on the other side of the world had taken their work, chopped off the intro that attributed it to them and put it online. (The video still had the end credits, so it wasn’t scrubbed of all attribution.)

But Khayat, the studio director, said that feeling was quickly eclipsed by a sense of validation.

Moondog’s founders – Ransom, Khayat and CTO/Technology Strategist Ben Davis – formed the company with a mission, which is exhibited by the Willy Grunch series. Ransom said they want to make animated stories that do more than entertain, but have the power to make people think about big life questions.

Their videos are really geared toward the 15 to 30 age group, and while most animated videos geared at that group err toward the crazy and crude, Ransom said they put more stock in that group’s desire to seek answers to those big questions. So, every episode of Willy Grunch has a theme, a sort of moral constructed by the choices Willy faces and the consequences of his decisions.

Khayat said seeing the video’s popularity and the conversations it provoked felt like evidence – after three years – that there is a real desire and market for that kind of content.

“We had that proof,” he said. “That was a good feeling.”

“Kind of a, ‘I knew it,’ type of feeling,” Davis added. “I knew it could work.”

Free Willy Grunch

The video’s virality also offered them valuable information about what people like. The five videos they created cover a spectrum of themes and how they are conveyed, and one video was more popular than the others. It clearly had a moral, but it was not as specific as in some other videos, and in the comments, people used that openness to interpret the theme how it made sense to them.

“People read into it how they want to because we’re staying at that parable level,” Davis said.

The video’s newfound popularity also gave them momentum to build on to make more Willy Grunch videos. To make the first episodes, they started a campaign on Kickstarter and had huge success. Their goal was to raise $99,999 in four weeks. They raised $117,000, and in the process, they learned a thing or two about how to entice people to donate.

After a mediocre first week of the Kickstarter campaign, they dreamed up Workout Wednesdays. Whenever someone donated five dollars on a Wednesday, the Moondog team made a video of one of them doing five pushups, then calling out the donor’s name. By the last Workout Wednesday, Ransom said six people did something like 250 pushups each, and they tried every way they could to make it fresh by doing the pushups in a hand stand or on top of a car. Plus, donors shared their personalized feats of strength on social media, prompting their friends to look up the campaign and get involved.

“Just awareness is one thing,” Ransom said, “that interactivity of people is where you get that next stage.”

As they move toward launching their fundraising campaign to “Free Willy Grunch” and make more videos, they’ve got ideas for how to once again make the donations interactive, but they’re also doing a few things differently.

For one, they’re getting Mount Pleasant-based developer Chris Wolf to make their fundraising site for them – willygrunch.com – set to go live today.

The episodes will be free, but donors will get access to live Q&A’s and other perks.

But even more unique is there’s no set end to the campaign. Instead, they’ll keep making episodes as long as the money is coming in.

Khayat said that in a time when viewers can stream what they want when they want and their attention is being further divided seemingly every day, they’re trying something different by giving the audience a say.

“We said okay, let’s leave it to the viewership,” Ransom added. “They can give five bucks today as a one time, or they can become a subscriber and give five bucks a month, or whatever they want to do.”

And Khayat said, that leaves it to them, Moondog, to make content worth keeping alive – even after three years of sitting dormant.

A one-man show as an antidote to extremism

Whereas after Paris, the world is asking how to fight against extremism and terrorism, the comedian Alain Auderset replies in an original way to this question by a humoristic show, which breaks from religiosity but still has a profound respect for God. As astounding as this may seem, these two things have nothing to do one with the other!

The Swiss comedian’s show is entitled “A not-practising atheist”: He is interested in the beliefs of each of us on; the couple, life, religion or on atheism. These beliefs, rarely consistent and often strict, but so deliciously absurd are the origin of a series of intelligent and funny sketches playing on words, and full of genuine emotions. At this time when a multitude of atrocities are committed in the name of religion, but where God is rejected, Alain Auderset’s show is of a vital pertinence, allowing us to see things from another angle, and to not throw the baby out with the bathwater! 

The show cancelled

By an unfortunate coincidence, the comedian should have officially launched the DVD of his show by a performance in Paris on the 5th of December 2015, in the prodigious Wagram theatre, which was sold out! The enthusiasm of the public proves that in spite of the spirit of fear, and the rejection of God and religion that the attacks have provoked, people need to interrogate themselves and to dare to laugh in spite of all their apprehensions. In spite of the protestations of the comedian, who wanted to bring a little consolation to this town in mourning, the performance was cancelled by the organisers fearful for the safety of the audience of the show.

The adventure of the DVD

For more than five years now, the author has been on tour in many French speaking countries (Switzerland, France, Belgium and Quebec), and has had a real success. Constantly revised and corrected, his show has become a real gem and the comedian felt that it was time to “box it” by proposing to the public a DVD.version 

The author in a few words:

Alain Auderset is a Swiss cartoon book artist and writer, he has three times won a prize at Angoulême (France), and has sold more than 110,000 copies. Having now become a comedian, we could believe that one of his characters has escaped from his drawing board to express himself on the “boards” of a theatre!

Another coincidence, Alain Auderset’s first cartoon book called, « Conventional Wisdom », which equally questions blind beliefs, came out on the 11th of September 2001, the date was chosen because there was nothing special going on that day (!!!). It makes you believe that Alain Auderset’s message is like Gandalf the Grey, he arrives precisely when we need him; that is, in a crisis situation!

Communiqué de presse : 

Un One Man Show comme antidote à l’extrémisme

Alors qu’après Paris, le monde se demande comment lutter contre l’extrémisme et le terrorisme, le comédien Alain Auderset répond de manière originale à cette question par un spectacle humoristique qui casse du religieux tout en ayant un profond respect pour Dieu, puisque, aussi étonnant que cela puisse paraître, les deux choses n'ont rien à voir l’une avec l’autre. Le spectacle du comédien suisse se nomme « athée non pratiquant » ; il s’intéresse aux croyances de chacun sur le couple, la vie, la mort, la religion ou encore l’athéisme. Ces croyances, rarement cohérentes, parfois rigides, mais si délicieusement absurdes sont à l’origine d’une série de sketches intelligents, drôles, aux jeux de mots subtils, plein d’émotions sincères. À l’heure où sont commises de multiples atrocités au nom de la religion et où l’on rejette Dieu, le spectacle d’Alain Auderset est d’une pertinence vitale, permettant de voir les choses sous un autre angle, et de ne pas jeter le bébé avec l’eau du bain.

Spectacle annulé

Coïncidence déconcertante, le comédien aurait dû lancer officiellement le DVD de son spectacle par une représentation à Paris, le 5 décembre 2015, dans la prestigieuse salle Wagram à guichets fermés. L’engouement du public prouve que, malgré l’esprit de peur et de rejet que les attentats ont provoqué envers Dieu et la religion, les gens ont besoin de s’interroger et d’oser rire de la façon dont on les appréhende. Malgré les protestations du comédien, qui aurait voulu apporter un peu de consolation à cette ville en deuil, la représentation a été annulée par les organisateurs animés par le sentiment tout autant louable de prendre soin des participants au spectacle.

L'aventure du DVD

Depuis plus de 5 ans, l'auteur est en tournée dans toute la francophonie (en Suisse, France, Belgique et Québec), et a rencontré un franc succès. Constamment peaufiné et retravaillé, son spectacle est devenu un vrai petit bijou, et le comédien a jugé qu’il était temps de le « mettre en boîte » en proposant une version DVD à son public.

Cette version numérique a été filmée et montée par des professionnels de la télé et du cinéma français. Touchés par la pertinence du message véhiculé par les sketches d'Alain Auderset, ils ont décidé de travailler bénévolement pour que ce projet puisse voir le jour et être partagé à un maximum de personnes. Le DVD d'A. Auderset reste disponible dans tous les points de vente de suisse-romande, et d’une partie de la francophonie. Il est aussi dès à présent sur le site de l'auteur : www.auderset.com.

A. Auderset est un auteur de BD et un écrivain suisse, ayant remporté par trois fois un prix à Angoulême et vendu plus de 110’000 ouvrages. Devenu comédien, on croirait qu'un de ses personnages s’est échappé de ses planches pour pouvoir s’exprimer sur celles d’un théâtre.

Autre coïncidence, la première BD d’Alain Auderset, nommée « Idées Reçues », et qui remet également en question les croyances aveugles, est parue précisément le 11 septembre 2001, date choisie parce qu’il n’y avait rien de spécial ce jour là (!!!). À croire que le message d’Alain Auderset est comme Gandalf le gris, il arrive précisément lorsqu’on a besoin de lui, soit en situation de crise.

As astounding as this may seem, these two things have nothing to do one with the other! The Swiss comedian’s show is entitled “A not-practising atheist”: He is interested in the beliefs of each of us on; the couple, life, religion or on atheism. These beliefs, rarely consistent and often strict, but so deliciously absurd are the origin of a series of intelligent and funny sketches playing on words, and full of genuine emotions. At this time when a multitude of atrocities are committed in the name of religion, but where God is rejected, Alain Auderset’s show is of a vital pertinence, allowing us to see things from another angle, and to not throw the baby out with the bathwater! The show cancelled By an unfortunate coincidence, the comedian should have officially launched the DVD of his show by a performance in Paris on the 5th of December 2015, in the prodigious Wagram theatre, which was sold out! The enthusiasm of the public proves that in spite of the spirit of fear, and the rejection of God and religion that the attacks have provoked, people need to interrogate themselves and to dare to laugh in spite of all their apprehensions. In spite of the protestations of the comedian, who wanted to bring a little consolation to this town in mourning, the performance was cancelled by the organisers fearful for the safety of the audience of the show. The adventure of the DVD For more than five years now, the author has been on tour in many French speaking countries (Switzerland, France, Belgium and Quebec), and has had a real success. Constantly revised and corrected, his show has become a real gem and the comedian felt that it was time to “box it” by proposing to the public a DVD.version The author in a few words: Alain Auderset is a Swiss cartoon book artist and writer, he has three times won a prize at Angoulême (France), and has sold more than 110,000 copies. Having now become a comedian, we could believe that one of his characters has escaped from his drawing board to express himself on the “boards” of a theatre! Another coincidence, Alain Auderset’s first cartoon book called, « Conventional Wisdom », which equally questions blind beliefs, came out on the 11th of September 2001, the date was chosen because there was nothing special going on that day (!!!). It makes you believe that Alain Auderset’s message is like Gandalf the Grey, he arrives precisely when we need him; that is, in a crisis situation!   + Information on the show See the B-A Contact[:]" ["post_content_langs"]=> array(2) { ["fr"]=> bool(true) ["en"]=> bool(true) } ["post_title_ml"]=> string(124) "[:fr]CP: Un One Man Show comme antidote à l’extrémisme[:en]Press release : A one-man show as an antidote to extremism[:]" ["post_title_langs"]=> array(2) { ["fr"]=> bool(true) ["en"]=> bool(true) } }
