Chapter 01 / A Note on Practice

On method,
fidelity, faces.

Paris2013 / Present
For the last decade I have built the human face at production fidelity, across feature film, AAA games and the editorial side of luxury fashion.

The whole job is the uncanny valley. Too stylised and you skirt the problem. Too photoreal and the viewer catches every absent micro-expression, every frozen eye, every millimetre of skin that fails to slide. The last five percent is the entire work.

The goal is not realism. The goal is to go unnoticed.

For five years I was General Manager & Lead Character TD at Scan Engine, the digital-double studio launched by Unit Image in 2020. I ran the operations end-to-end, directing 3D capture sessions with Michael Fassbender, Demi Moore, Neymar Jr and Luka Dončić, shipping rigged, animatable doubles into more than sixty productions.

I now work independently, open to creative direction, studio leadership, supervisor seats and senior production work. Paris, available worldwide.
