DANS LA LUNE – 2019

I worked as an executive producer for the production company Les Docs du Nord, to manage the first 360° film directed by the famous french director MARC CARO.

Marc Caro  is a director and writer, known for Delicatessen (1991), La cité des enfants perdus (1995) and Alien, la résurrection (1997).

Under the guidance of Marc Caro, and their teachers, 15 students in the “Architecture en Représentation” Master’s option designed and created the 360 ​​° set for the first episode of Marc Caro’s web series Fly Me To The Moon. During the Festival Premiers Plans in Angers, the public was invited to visit the set and discover the manufacture. More informations here.

As a director of production, I worked for the production company Les Docs Du Nord who gave me the responsability to manage the budget and deal with all the service providers a month before shooting.

I was also the director’s assistant, working hand in hand with the VR advisor Pierre Friquet. I built the VR team for the shooting: Michael Kolchesky as the 360 camera operator, Charles-Henri Marraud des Grottes as the DIT, Geoffrey Durcak as the sound engenieer and Marina Gandey as the make up artist. Marc Caro hired Jean Poisson as a DOP. It was a very small team as Marc Wanted to.

Fly Me To The Moon Stars Jackie Berroyer, Philippe Vieux and Aurélia Poirrier.

This was the first 360° set made for a virtual reality piece that I saw, and an impressive work done by the DOP to work only with light scattering in the set.

It was a very intensive but an amazing experience!

LE DERNIER HEROS – 2017

Le Dernier Héros was produced within my ex company Clap & Zap Production and Cle production.

My associate Charles-Henri Marraud des Grottes was the director.

As a winner of a 360° script contest made by the festival Paris Court Devant in 2016, we won a partnership with the Youtube Space is Paris to shoot our film and have ressources, so that it could be shown in the festival the year after.

I managed the whole production logistic and team together with Cedrick Léger, the CEO of Clep Production.

We had only half a day to rehearse and one day to shoot. We were very happy that Thomas Villepoux helped us by bringing his expertise and DV Group‘s 360 rig camera made with Black Magics.

We also partnered with the belgium company Demute for all the spatialized sound work. It was very inovative at the time as we created a concept where when the user turns his head, the sound of the character he is looking at becomes louder. In addition to a basic spatialized sound.

The original music was made by the great french company Scoring Production.

In May 2015, Clap & Zap Production created and produced the first French short film in virtual reality: The Other Side. This is a short comedy mixing computer-generated images and 360 ° stereoscopic images shot in Cannes.

Panocam 3D bring their 360 camera rig (one of the first on th world) and finaly the collective Les acteurs de Cannes acted in the film. The hôtel Radisson Blu in Cannes was a partner too, allowing us to shoot the film on their rooftop.
