I realized that I was attracted to nearby animation around my 13-14 years old thanks to video games, I tried with my friends to make small 3D games on blender at the time, then I went to visit plenty of 3D animation school, whose one where I am now MOPA located in Arles france, I always was attracted by what is creative whether it is originally drawing, cinema, Sculpture but also Art in general

I have always been interested by drawing and animation movies, so i decided to discover the world of 3D animation. I started create things and now I'm in love with surfacing and visual developement !

I think I always wanted to work in a creative media, I just didn't know which one. As a child I really loved drawing, as a teenager, I really enjoyed music and now as a young adult I think I have found my path in animation (because it regroups all of it).

It was during my two years degree that I realized I love the world of CGI. So I decided to study at MoPA school (Supinfocom Arles)

I have always been fascinated by the world of animation. When I was little I could stay for hours in front of these movies. I still do it by the way. Today I want to create animated films to make dream the children who will see them, and make them also want to do this job too later.

Since I was little I have been fascinated by 3D animation. And it was in high school that it was a revelation to me that I wanted to make it my profession

When I was a kid I realized after watching Toy Story hundreds of time that I had actually zero idea as to how they created those images. That was the spark that stayed with me. Art being the thing i loved most one thing led to another, now I'm at MOPA and want to create that spark for others.

I built myself around this goal , and now here i am

I've always loved drawing. Now using 3D to continue the party ;)

When I was about 12, I discovered the work of cg artists through a friend of my parents, that's when I knew I wanted to work in the animated movie industry, but i've always been interested by art and knew since I was a child I wanted to do art when i'll grow up.

During a careers forum, I was fascinated by a 3D animation stand. Today I am part of this school!

At the age of 11, my father decided to give me one of his old PC. A laptop that could barely run any games but I only needed something that could make Youtube banners for my friends. That's when I discovered about Speed Arts and felt in love with Concept Arts. I knew at that time I wanted to work in the creative media and learn so i could shape the ideas I have.

Since middle school, i love to create stories and characters. As i grew up, animation is the medium that i affectionate the most.

The idea of ​​working in the creative media and entertainment industry came naturally to me during my senior year of high school. I realized that I couldn't work in a lab as a chemist the rest of my life and when I researched what I really wanted to do I founded some 3D schools in France and was "yes, that's what I want to do every day" .

I've been drawing since I was able to hold a pen and that first experience became a passion, my favorite way to express myself. In 2016, I entered a specialised art section at my high school, where we are taught design, art history, graphic design, drawing and 3D conception. We worked on a variety of projects, using different techniques, formats and subjects. I personally started to develop an interest in animation, seeing it as a possibility to tell stories and express my creativity.

I was 12 years old, I was at my grandmother’s and I was bored, I took with me the collector’s box of the Lord of the Rings, with the bonus behind the scenes. So I decided to watch it : I loved, I discovered the world of 3d, how my favorite movie was made real. Since that day I want to become 3d Designer Director

When i was a child for the first time i seen one of my cousins how works in the industry , he showed some stuff he did and it was like a revelation for me !

With a passion for art, animals, monsters and creatures I joined a 3D school in 2018 to learn new tools.

I love reading comic books, I got my passion for visual arts from there. But I had to go through an engineering diploma to realise that I really needed to work in the creative field.

When we realized that we could spend our lives creating and having fun!

I've always really loved feature length animation movies, especially 3D ones because the technical aspect fascinated me when I was younger. I'm really grateful to be now learning how to make them and to soon join this incredible industry!

I realized I wanted to work in 3D when I was in college. I always admired 3D artists and what they were capable of doing.
