• ANIMATION: I'm working as a lead compositing artist on the season 3 of "Lulu Vroumette", a french animated serie for children (6-9 years old). Very cool stuff, funny but hard hard work! I guess some of you who have children might know it already as it's broadcasted in many countries (France 5, RAI, BBC, ZDF, EBS, NRK, YLE, SVT, Al Jazeera, RTBF etc!) And the season 3 is indeed much better than the previous ones!

• EMPYRIUM: I'm so honoured that I worked on the new Empyrium album and also on the whole back catalogue LP reissue! This band was such an inspiration for me when I was young, that I'm so proud to have somehow participated to the new album!
here are some samples of the work, colours are not representative of the real ones.

• RED SHADOWS (short film project): Going ahead as always, and especially great. Doing some new drawings meanwhile we're searching for funds and so on! (See teaser here). 

• ANIMATION: I'm very proud to have animated a short sequence on "NARCOSE", directed by Julie Gautier. Fantastic short film about the narcosis effect apnea divers often experience. The film is getting viral and gets a lot of attention on the web (+100000 plays in one day) ! Plug your headphones, high volume, set the room dark and enjoy!

I'm also working in Paris for 7 months till November on an animated TV serie as head of compositing.
More informations soon.

A BUSY START for 2014 -

• MUSIC RELATED: Finishing the composition work of the third LES DISCRETS album. So far it's very different from the previous albums. No acoustic drums, tons of electronic elements, low vocals very loud in the mix, with a post-punk / trip hop / shoegaze feel. Work on that album has been huge, lots of refinements on each song so that they all sound exactly the way I want. Unfortunately I'm not going to record it till October or November 2014. For a possible release in 2015.

• From March I'm moving to Paris for a 6 months period to work on a children animated serie called Lulu Vroumette as compositing artist. Another interesting job which I've already done in the past. It'll improve my knowledges and skills in the animated film production!

A GLIMPSE OF THE NEW LES DISCRETS - 

 • A glimpse of LES DISCRETS next album. This song below was basically supposed to be part of a side project SAINPAUL, but I decided that the songs of it would be LES DISCRETS third album, which is almost fully composed. I'm going to record it in January and February.

DIRECTOR's REEL 2013 - 

 • I never did a showreel of my work till Nicki my UK agent asked me to do so. Here it is!
If you like it, spread it to your friends and social netcrap, who knows.. Maybe one day I'll work for Sigur Ròs thanks to you! 

Very happy to tell you that French film production company Les Films D'Ici (Waltz With Bashir, Michael Kohlhaas, ...) has come on board as co-producers of Little Dude Films animated short film Red Shadows, written by Ian Beaumont. The film, which is due to be directed by me, tells the true story of a serial killer who was active in Nazi era Berlin, during the Second World War.

Les Films d'Ici producer, Sébastien Onomo says: "I am very enthusiastic about working with Little Dude Films on this project. Red Shadows is exactly the kind of movie we like to produce at Les Films d'Ici, because it combines drama with a unique history, as shaped by a new, talented director whom we expect to hear a lot more about in the years to come."

THE VISION BLEAK - Stop Motion Music Video

 • A new music video, in stop motion which I directed in 2 months with a very low budget considering the amount of work! 

• I worked on Maya The Bee (TF1/ZDF @ Studio100 Animation) as Art Director assistant during 6 months (on 30/40 episodes). That was very interesting, I learnt a lot of things, and it's definitely a lovely tv show for children from 6 to 10yo. See Below, watch out it's colorful eh eh.

• And I also worked for REFUGE Charity & AVON (UK) via CODECOMPUTERLOVE (UK) and directed an interactive animated video working on Youtube platform.
