who has worked with
since 2013,
montréal, québec
I have worked in all aspects of animation cinematography; from shot blocking, previs to camera polish, final layout and as director of photography.
Through consistent dialogue with editorial, to motivated camera movement and creating tone through lens choice; efficient problem solving within the project pipeline, prioritizing sequence continuity and character motivation, to pushing visual composition and framing- my work is a continuous play between tech and visual storytelling.
