Efficient, dynamic and diligent, I worked one year at Illumination Macguff as a Character Modeler on an untitled feature film and I’m now looking for new opportunities.

Biography

Graduated from MoPA after five years, I had a complete formation. In third year, I did an internship as a generalist at Macguff Line. I mainly did buildings’ modeling and interior backgrounds for the documentary «The Human Factor». In fourth year I was an intern at Zeilt Productions where I did some design/modeling/texturing of props for the TV shows «Next Stop» and «Deep in the bowl» as well as character modeling for the VR and motion capture project «My identity is the Expanse». In 2020 I validated my last year of school with my degree‘s film «Feeling Blue». I supervised the production and the artistic direction. On a more technical aspect I was entirely in charge of two characters and then a part of the animation. Our teamwork on this short film has been rewarded several times by different festivals. After my graduation I worked for Illumination Macguff on the «Super Mario Bros movie» that will be available next december and that I could talk more during an interview if you give me the chance. During this year I was trained by my supervisor David Galante on the creation of several costums and characters of the movie. For each of them I modelised respecting the design and the graphic style and creating a good topology and blendshapes, I prepared the presentation scene, etc. As the last junior at the end of the production I had more responsabilities by assisting my supervisor and my lead. I was in charge of lots of modeling retakes and worked closely with the rigging and surfacing department. I had a first look at the creation of facial shapes and I would really like to learn more about it.
