Twenty years spent building motion design teams and leading them to great films. Founder of the TBWA\Paris motion design department, co-founder of Blackmeal: 3,000+ films in twelve years, between Nantes, Paris and Montréal.
A selection from twenty years of films — at Blackmeal, the studio I co-founded and led creatively for twelve years, and before that at the TBWA\Paris motion design department. Hover to see them move, click to watch.
The part of the job I love most: what happens before anything moves. Pencil tests, storyboards, previz, and a green screen when the film calls for it.
Interviews given, articles written, and twenty years of talking about the craft — in the press, on stage, and in classrooms.
I build motion design teams and lead them to films people remember. Concept, design, direction: from the first sketch to the final frame, at the pace advertising demands.
Founder of the TBWA\Paris motion design department (15 people). Co-founder of Blackmeal, a reference studio of French motion design: 3,000+ films in twelve years, teams in Nantes, Paris and Montréal.
