CG lover, especially rendering and all matters relating tools and workflow (pipeline).
I have a pragmatic temperament and technical mind, I understand and anticipate things quickly. I had the opportunity to go through different kinds of structure which gave me a wide view of production (commercials, feature films, etc. ...).
I like working with other people, looking for simple solutions to complex problems, thinking about implications each decision has and adapt my methods accordingly.
Objectives:
Depending on the size of the structure, I will wish supervise projects entirety and/or rendering.
The idea is to put my experience to the service of productions and provide technical resources to people so they can work peacefully.
