Graduate of the famous Louis Lumiere cinematography school in Paris, Thomas first becomes a cinematographer and a 3D specialized DP and Director. In 2012 he joins DVgroup, the biggest VR studio in France and develops with François Klein the original content production departement. Soon together they create Digital Rise, a creative studio dedicated to immersive innovative experiences and stories worth living. He is the Author and director of both Mandala and Jailbirds experiences. His credo: Never forget all we are but monkeys giving each other awards. His work puts the human problems in a new perspective, bringing a new vision, sometimes with irony. Getting out of the usual standards help him create a new kind of emotion, more touching and pure.

How do you adapt a comic book with such a particular style in a medium that uses real time animation – that is, video game tools that have their own aesthetic? The first work was handled by Fred Remuzat, an art director specialized in CGI, who can make a character exist in a pencil sketch and then translate it into polygons and vectors. Together, we defined the visual style and the design of the characters. Then the animation studio The Pack created the special “shader” than enables this “pencil drawing render.” (written by Thomas Villepoux)
