I am Adrien, 22 years old. I am passionate about VFX since eight years. After High School I decided to study in a visual effects and 3D animation school.
I joined ArtFX, a french school located in Montpellier, where I spent four years. I made my graduation movie : Initium (co-directed with Emeric Larochette, Alexandre Dechel, James Ross-Greetham) during my last grade. It was an amazing experience. I enjoyed working in a small team on a science fiction project.
Since graduating in June 2013, I started my career in different companies in my home country. (Foret Bleue, Cutback). Then I worked for some other Film & TV companies abroad. (Pixomondo, The Mill). I am currently working in London and hope to continue my career in this astonishing city.

My Name is Martin Lapp and I’m in my third year studying Animation and VFX at the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg in Germany. I’m currently at the end of my year off, where I worked for seven months at Method Studios here in Los Angeles. Three weeks ago, I won the VES Awards for Outstanding Visual Effects in a Student Project together with my Team for our Short “Rugbybugs”, which was completed last year at school. Rugbybugs was also the main trailer for this year’s FMX Conference in Stuttgart, Germany. Now I’m returning to Germany to complete my last two years of studies working on my Diploma Project.

My name’s Chris Gillett and I’m a character artist. I attended Gnomon School of Visual Effects from June 2011 – June 2013. It was the best decision I ever made and I hold the experience and the friendships very close to my heart! Most importantly, I have an undying affinity for potbellies and sock-feet.

Fantasy, sci fi, toon render”.
