Education
- Bachelor Cinema VFXécole factory2016Ecole Factory, Villeurbanne Formation intensive axée sur l'ensemble de la chaîne de post-production cinématographique et audiovisuelle. Ce cursus m'a permis d'acquérir une maîtrise technique rigoureuse tout en développant une vision artistique globale. Compétences clés acquises : Post-production complète : Apprentissage approfondi du montage, de l'étalonnage et de la composition d'effets visuels (VFX). Techniques d'image : Gestion des flux de production complexes, de la prise de vue au rendu final. Spécialisation Motion Design : Grâce à mon solide bagage préalable en communication graphique (4 ans d'études incluant CAP et Bac Pro Design Graphique ), j'ai orienté mon cursus vers le Motion Design en cours de cycle. Synergie Graphisme & Vidéo : Capacité unique à fusionner les codes du graphisme print/web avec le mouvement, permettant de créer des animations fluides, lisibles et esthétiquement cohérentes. Note : Cette double culture "Image Fixe" (Design) et "Image Animée" (VFX/Cinéma) constitue aujourd'hui l'ADN de mon travail de Directeur Artistique, me permettant d'aborder chaque projet avec une vision 360°.
