When I was twelve, I discovered that creating animated short film was a possible job and I’ve been pursuing this dream to one day work in this industry since then.

I was at first attracted by drawing and painting, and kept it as a hobby until I began to explore my artisitic potential, around the end of middle school. I got interested in the number of possibility that offered the entertainment industry, especialy the preproduction of film-making and video game, the idea of creating entire new worlds, cultures, shapes and concepts, and tell stories through them. I realised that creation could have a lot of mediums : Digital painting, Animation, 3D.

Really early came to us the passion of storytelling and to create unique univers, through the contact of different artiste and piece of art.

I realised I wanted to work in the animation industry in highschool! I was rewatching some animation movies and then, I realised that I wanted to be there at the begininng of a project, working on the script, the visuals, the artistic direction.

I want to direct movies since I am a kid. I first started drawing comics and shooting live action short film before studying 3d animation.

I've always wanted to work in the movie industry. I was good in mathematics and in arts so 3D animation was the perfect job where I could mix technical skills with artistic creations.

I have always been a very creative person but had never thought about it as a career until a couple of years ago. During my high school years, I discovered the animation industry and, being myself a big fan of animated movies, decided to look for animation schools.

Hum, I turned to animation when I realized I wasn’t going to become a professional volleyball player. This decision was confirmed when I began to perceive all the work needed to design a film, that collective thinking, that intensive, visually developed research, that’s what really drives me in this environment.

Very young, when i was 11 or 12

I realised it in my fondation class in art in 2016.

My first step in creative field was drawing and then painting. I realised soon I needed to add movement to make my art alive so I started making stop motion and learned a lot by myself. Finally I discovered 3D animation. The more I learned, the more I was fascinated by animation. And here I am, just graduated from MoPA, ready to improve and be my better self !

After studying graphic design with a 3d option, i realized that my 3d option was what thrilled me the most. I decided to start training in this direction in Mopa.

I've always loved drawing & writing stories, and after studying Art History for 2 years, I decided I wanted a career on the creative side

I started drawing at the end of middle school, but was always a creative person working with various mediums. After high school I spent a year at Gobelins learning the basics of anatomy and drawing, and a teacher introduced me to 3D animation, which was exactly what I was looking for.

When i was 17 years old i discovered this school called MoPA and when i saw that i was like "I WANT TO DO THIS !!!!!" and now i'm 20 years old, Studying in this school.

I have always been fascinated with the creation of a credible and immersive world within films. Starting off with digital painting, I was curious about the use of 3D as a tool for illustration and storytelling and chose to join a 3D school to further discover and specialise in this domain.

I had the will to be part of the entertainment industry in middle school, when I realised there were actual people behind all the animations I love.

I wanted to work in the creative media and entertainment industry when I saw the Blue Sky exhibition in Paris. After that I discovered all the CG Universe and I feel like it’s my way.

I’ve been a creative person for as long as I can remember, and I am currently pursuing my love for cinema and specifically 3D animation at Ecole MoPA, Arles.
