Hello !
My name is Ariane, I am french, 28 years old and I have been working on animation for 5 years.
I studied at ESMA (École Supérieure de Métiers Artistiques) Toulouse where I got a master’s degree in VFX and 3D Animation. I got the chance to co-direct the short film “Mécanique” which was nominated for multiple festivals across the world. (You can watch it here: https://youtu.be/JVyLSsq48Ik.)
After those amazing years at school, I had the chance to start working at TAT Production a French Studio, based in Toulouse on an Animated Tv series “Les As De La Jungle”. For this first experience, I worked as modeling and surfacing artist for 52 episodes.
Then, I kept working at TAT studio but I’ve joined the surfacing Team, for Features film. I took part of this adventure during more than two years, on two features animation movies : “PIL” and “Pattie and Poseidon’s anger”.
During that time, Covid-19 appeared, and like everyone’s mind, it was a strange and sad situation but it made me feel that I would love to live exciting experiences and discover our beautiful planet. That’s why I’ve decided to change everything in my life and started working as Surfacing Artist at Animal Logic, in Sydney Australia.
It was completly the opposite of my previous experiences, I was on big production (Netflix Animated feature movie), I understood how works big production pipeline, with a new language, a new environement. It was one of the most challenging step in my life.
After 8 months being down under, I moved back to France and got the amazing opportunity to work for Mikros animation studio. I joined the Surfacing team to work again on an upcoming Netflix’s serie, and that’s my current position.
