François Poupon

Passionate about visuals, I have worked and continue to work for various Parisian visual effects studios since 2009 (AutreChose, Wizz (no longer exists), MacGuff, Mathematics, Fix Studio (no longer exists), Firm Studio, Digital District, Add Fiction...).

Recently, I worked on three feature films for the company Add Fiction (the upcoming films by Arnaud Desplechin, Rebecca Zlotowski, and Quentin Dupieux).

I left Paris in 2014 and commuted back until 2023 to work there. I still go there in person sometimes, but my wish would be to work exclusively from home, where I am equipped with a powerful machine. That's why I would like to get closer to structures that allow remote work.

I work on the Flame software, developed by Autodesk.

It is a compositing, color grading, and finishing software (in advertising, masters come out of our machine).

I also have some serious skills in Photoshop and After Effects, and I plan to train soon on Blender software to be able to create my own 3D elements.

I offer services such as:

Compositing (integration of 2D and 3D elements into the shot)

Clean-up and image restoration (all kinds of erasing, improvement

of the image if apparent technical problems)

Finishing (final adjustments such as color grading tweaks,

placement of typos and other mentions, etc...)

and delivery of various master formats

On-set supervision (ensuring that the shoot aligns with the effects

and finishing, and providing solutions on set)

Artistic direction

Flexible, responsive, and attentive, I adapt to the needs of each project,

whether for one-off assignments or regular collaborations.
