With more than 30 blockbuster credits to her name, Virginie Bourdin has 15 years of specialist experience in the high-end film industry. After a few years in graphic design and animation, she started as a VFX concept artist and created the first VFX art department at VFX leading house MPC London, which she ran for almost a decade.

Virginie has directed and motivated teams of concept artists to successfully achieve specific visions for each movie she has worked on, bringing to life some of the most beloved movie designs.

Her company, THE ART OF DIRECTION, created in 2015, is just completing the full visual development for the new Captain Marvel feature, having previously supervised the concept art on Jurassic World sequel, Assassin’s Creed and offered advisory services for European VFX companies and organisations.

When developing designs that ‘we have never seen before,’ Virginie is passionate about seeking inspiration in raw ingredients, director & production designer’s personal themes, the mastery and also the untapped potential of an artist ready to be unleashed. The creative processes are being constantly rejuvenated. It feeds her challenging pursuit of making each journey the best collective creative experience for real magic can actually happen.
