Who I am<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

From Mac Guff in 2007 to the world’s biggest sets, and\u00a0<\/span>back to the layout chair.<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n

I started at\u00a0<\/span>Mac Guff Paris in 2007<\/span>, learning layout the proper way before the world went massive. From there I spent 15 years on the floors of ILM, MPC, DNEG and Animal Logic (Paris, Montreal, Sydney) building shots for Dune Part Two, Furiosa, Fast X, Game of Thrones and more.<\/p>\n

Teaching at\u00a0<\/span>ARTFX Lille<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>rewired me. I saw students and indie directors making the same brutal pre-prod mistakes I’d watched eat seven-figure sequences alive, just with no budget and no second take. So I rebuilt my practice around\u00a0<\/span>visual narration consulting<\/span>:<\/span> empathetic, direct, zero hijacking of your vision.<\/p>\n

And honestly? Time flies. I’m\u00a0<\/span>back at Mac Guff<\/span> right now<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>on a Netflix France feature, still doing the craft I love. I take selective freelance and contract work in\u00a0<\/span>rough & final layout, previs, postvis and techvis<\/span>\u00a0because the only way to stay sharp as a mentor is to keep my hands dirty in production.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n9<\/span>Read the full story<\/span><\/span><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Why work with me<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

The unfair edge:
big-studio craft, still in production, mentor’s mindset.<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n
\n

Most consultants left the trenches a decade ago. Most layout artists never learned how to teach. I’m one of the few people doing both at the same time \u2014 current on a Netflix feature this week, in a student review the next. That is the edge I bring into your room.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
