Biography
My story begins in Montbéliard, I started my studies in webdesign and multimedia in 2014, but my interest for VFX became a passion when I discovered "Cosmos : A spacetime Odyssey", in a design conference festival in Barcelona I was attending, called “OFFF”. Filipe Carvalho did a brilliant presentation of his projects, mostly opening sequences of prestigious movies or TV shows. He started by showing us his reel but he only talked about few of them in detail. And there was "Cosmos" ... I was blown away by the poetry and the quality of this opening sequence. A few months later, I was studying in Montreal, surfing on Netflix, when I stumbled upon the series. I binge watched it but stopped before the last episode because I didn't want this beautiful journey to end. From that moment I knew I would work in the cinema industry. I graduated from my webdesign school and started a Bachelor in Cinema in Strasbourg followed by a Bachelor in Multimedia in Valenciennes. I graduated and immediately began working at CGEV, Paris for 8 months. There I really confirmed my passion for VFX. But my dream was a bit different than what I could accomplish in that studio. Everyone there encouraged me to believe in my project so I took the step. In January 2019, I began learning Houdini by myself. The story of "Cosmos" continues a bit later in 2019, during a Houdini HIVE event in Paris, I met a friend of mine who told me that he was working on the next season. I was so happy yet so frustrated not being able to work on such an inspiring project. That day, I made a promise to myself : I will try anything to work on the next season if ever another is produced. Later on, I graduated from ArtFx's Master's Degree which I completed in June 2022, our promo worked on 13 movies and I helped 5 of them by creating FX : Macula, Quit Smoking, Fady, My Dog ate the Moon, La Mouche (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smx2RAGxlu0&list=PL20q3EkSTh9F0Bb_8YhzfQ3tVj2xZ7Sks) This experience combined to the knowledge acquired at The Mill Paris during my internship (summer 2021) enabled me to get hired at DNEG London. I'm working there since mid-November 2022 and my contract is due in August 2023.
