Work Experience

Self-employed / 2022 – today

Starfox Remadventures – web series

Based on the story written for my fan game project. This animated movie project allows me to deepen my skills in many technical areas (animation, writing, directing, editing …) in addition to expressing myself artistically.

It also gave me a whole new experience as a producer and project manager, with a team comprised of 14 voice actors that I’ve paid and manage for the first episode alone.

Game Designer / 2020 – 2022

Gamabilis – serious games

I worked with many people on various projects, first as a QA tester before being promoted to general Game Designer and Project Manager. My main missions were to generate as many ideas and concepts as possible that would meet customer expectations, in order to gamify their products or ideas.

I was also in charge of updating and ensuring that the projects I was working on were delivered on time and on budget.

Personal projects

Starfox Remadventures (Web Series)

All aspects

First thought as a fan game, I decided to change the medium in order to develop the story I’ve written. The web series format was more suited to an animated movie than a video game. 
I searched for and hired voice actors, directed them through one on one sessions. I made the rigs, animations and lip-sync of all characters before set dressing whole sequences inside Unreal Engine.
Furthermore, I made the musics, the sound design and the editing of the whole movie before publishing it on my YouTube channel. 

This self funded project is a passion one which allowed me to improve my skills in various domains but also to express myself artistically.

Made with Unreal Engine 4.27 / 5 and Blender.
