Bio

I am an independent Paris-based artist ("Maison des artistes" since 2005).
After studying Arts in Paris (ATEP Visual Communication, design & stopmotion Bac+4 RNCP), I began my career as a Freelance Graphic Designer.
I then shortly specialized in "full 3D" animated films for commercials, mainly as a CG Supervisor / Senior lighting, rendering, compositing Artist.
More recently, I developed my know-how as a VFX Supervisor by creating 3D "previz" and techniques for shooting process.
Finaly, to use my skills in a new creative way, I jumped into film direction.
With Alex & Antoine (a collaboration with Antoine Waterkeyn), we create craft motion videos for digital & TV : 
craft motion is a fresh mix of 3D animation, stopmotion and live action.

My clients include LES PETITES JUPES DE PRUNE, STOOLY, SCIENCES PO., H5, TROUBLEMAKERS and KUNTZEL+DEYGAS : with whom I have worked for over 12 years. 
I served brands like GUERLAIN, AMEX, RENAULT, NESTLE, VAN CLEEF & ARPELS, PILOT, TROPICANA...
