When and how did you get into art?

After my photography degree in 2007, I got interested in animated stuff by creating my first short film mixing live action and stop motion. Then I began to work as a freelancer at day, learning 3d while working on personal projects at night.

When was your first big breakthrough?

Probably "Invasions", the first full 3d short film I made back in 2009. The story was about a little alien who arrives on earth. I spent almost one year on it. The short had a pretty warm reception, staff picked on Vimeo and reposted by Maxon official YouTube channel, reaching more than a million views.

What was your favourite project so far?

I don't know if it's my favorite, but it's the one that marked me the most because I spent 4 years of my life on it. "Insignificant", a 30 min documentary entirely made in 3d, which I co-directed with Franck Courchamp, a senior research scientist. The series is about mankind, and its place in the universe and among other species.
