New trailer for Happy Feet 2! yay!
Yesterday, I had the chance to see a work in progress sequence of the movie. I can tell you, this movie is going to be great! I was amazed by the story! In such a short time, I was already feeling emotions! George Miller is a very good director. One thing is for sure, he cares about his movies, the stories he is telling and the people around him. Be patient, November is the release date, but before that, we have a lot of work to do!!!

Australia & me
Because of this fantastic industry which is animation, I have the chance to work on great projects, with talented people and experience new countries, new life styles.
Sydney has been so far the best experience I ever had.
I remember very well being scared when Manu told me that he had a job offer there. I was like "What?! no way! too far!!!".
But then, how could I let him leaving without me! hehe (btw, he will not leave without me :D)
After 1 year and 8 months, I am happy to announce that I am totally in love with Australia! What a beautiful country...For the little I saw, I loved everything..actually, it's a lie...huntsman spiders and others tropical deadly things are still not my cup of tea! But the trees, the nature, the bay, the kangourous, the koalas, the sun, the sand, the dolphins, the whales....and the people...it's magical and I feel very lucky to experience this...
So that was my little love letter to Australia...Yes cause it's not easy to stay in this country...you have to deserve it!
So, hoping to be able to write another post about Australia next year, I just wanted to post the trailer of "Happy feet 2" the movie we are working on and which bring us to the land of OZ...
In french s'il vous plait! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where the wild things are...
Some of you know the book from Maurice Sendak when you were little. Spike Jonze (imdb Profile) made a movie version of it!
I wasn't really into it when I started to work on this project...I had difficulties with the story which I found too dark and characters ugly! But then, I became familiar with the atmospher and understood the approach of the director and found it fantastic!
I mostly animated "Alex" the goat. Lucky me, he was my favourite character. He is the little child of the team, the shy and scarred one. Spike Jonze was really present in the studio in London. It was great to have his feedback on each animation we did.

Avatar...
Yes, it sounds crazy but I did have my name on the credits of the amazing movie of James Cameron!!! Lucky me, I was part of the small team based in London who worked on few shots for the movie...For me, Avatar is the movie of the century...it's just unbelievable the design, the technic, the story, the everything...

Fly me to the moon
"Fly me to the moon" was my first feature film experience. And also, my first real work experience!
The studio (Nwave Digital) is located in Brussels, Belgium. It's a small company specialized in stereoscopic 3D movies. I had a wonderful time working there. They gave me my chance as an animator and I will keep them in my heart.
Here is the trailer of my first animation movie in 2007!
