It was in high school, I was in Applied Arts section and we had to make a stop motion short film.

When I was around 15 years old, I inew I wanted to work in animation. I got into Supinfocom Arles when I was 18, and realised I wanted to do CG animation, and more precisely work on character look development or lighting/compositing.

I knew the entertainment industry was my way when I realized that it encompasses everything I love. Not only all kind of arts are concerned, but also research, sciences, technology, buisness and teamwork.

At a quiet early age I developed an interest in french comics books that leads me later to cinema and therefore to animation: a combination of both medium.

From the age of 14.

When I was 8 or 9, I saw my sister start her studies in animation. After, during the next years I finally realised that I wanted to became an animator too.

When I was 9 years old, I started using my dad’s camera to create stories with my figurines, editing the rushs and uploading them on the internet. Years later, I discovered 3D animation and instantly liked it. I wanted to share emotions through expressions, movements and give life to my characters.

Ten years ago during vacation, i started learning blender on my free time. Since then, I've never put my hands off the keyboard

I first realized I wanted to work in creative industries after high school. I wanted the things i have been creating in my free time to be more than doodles, cute sculptures and stop-motion tinkering. I wanted to create environments with rich ambiances, intricate moods, worlds that tell a story. And i wanted to work alongside other artists to build together the most astonishing pictures and appealing stories.

When I was a teenager, I realised creating and crafting stuff makes me happy.

Since I was little, I loved telling stories through my drawings. Discovering that it could be a profession, enabling me to weave narratives and evoke emotions, naturally propelled me into this thrilling journey.

When I was 14 I was obsessed with cartoons, and I liked creating little animations on my nintendo dsi. So naturally, I looked into animation job.

I first realized I wanted to work in creative industries when I was little, writing stories and acting them out

I have a strong interest in children’s illustration and the macabre and ambiguous universe in which it can evolve. I also have a real passion for Asian folklore and horror games.It is the passion for drawing and illustration that made me want to take an interest in the field of CGI.

Around age 13-14

When I was young and amazed by all the animated films and movies I was seeing at the cinema. I wondered how it was made, and when I discovered all the creative processes behind visual effects and animation, I wanted to be, one day, part of it!

When I was 17 I think
