A project with heavy responsibility. I edited and graded the footage of an Arri Alexa for the official fashion show by Arturo Obegero, grand couturier, which aired in Paris for Fashion Week 2021. I attended the filming at Mado XR's studio in TSF Paris. I also made the making of the shoot and took some photos (for video thumbnail and networks).

Time: 00:01:59:17
three days of shooting
Equipment used: Black Magic Pocket edition, Sigma lenses, DJI Mavic mini drone, Canon 5D camera, professional editing station
one of the projects that taught me the most, I was literally on my own to capture the making of images (drone and camera), take the photos of the shoot, canvass the directors and the DOP, set them up, lighting, setting the scene, installing the radio microphones, writing and asking them questions and finally directing them. A lot of work that taught me to have strong shoulders. I then edited, graded, mixed, and subtitled in English the making of with the interview.
Anecdote: I almost couldn't interview the two directors and the DOP who were constantly pushing back the time of the interview (because they were overwhelmed by the filming). It was only on the last day of filming, at 10 p.m., that they were able to free up time to be interviewed.

A recurring format that I produced and still do for Mado XR, a virtual reality studio comparable to the technology used for the “The Mandalorian” series produced by Disney+. A miniseries called BTS (behind the scenes) of one minute per episode. So far, I have worked on 7 episodes, 5 of which were entirely directed by me. For the BTS of Bosh and Naps and that of Phipps, a colleague came to lend me a hand. I was totally free on my artistic, musical and aesthetic choices.

Here is a selection of 3 episodes:
BTS Alexander Blackstar

Event - capsules during the Hourtin / Libourne triathlon – 2021 and 2020

Roles: Cameraman, steadycamer, direct editor (image/sound).
Equipment used: Nikon D3400, 50mm 1:8, ronin SC2.
Every year for two years, the Frenchman triathlon has called me to come and work with Pura Vida Image (audiovisual production company) on the various events organized. We are asked to produce live video capsules of each stage of the different races. A triathlon is divided into 4 stages: The swim start, the swim/bike transition, the bike/run transition and the finish during which I have to film and edit a short video almost live for each of the stages. I therefore have a maximum of 30 minutes to assemble and calibrate each capsule. Services that allow me to work on my speed and efficiency in all circumstances.
Anecdote: I took the risk of getting on a canoe with my Ronin and my camera to film the swimmers up close.
Example of a capsule:

The discovery of an incredible person, who taught me to appreciate the simple things. Who taught me to be humble. Who taught me what perseverance was. Drawing up a portrait of Jean Clavel was no easy task, and having to select only a few pieces in his 1h30 interview was really complicated for a portrait that should not exceed 5 minutes... A real lesson in life.
Anecdote: Our authorisation to shoot in the port was cancelled the day before the shoot… But we were able to bounce back!
