  Chabeuil/Lyon/Valence

  "Star Wars - Redemption" is a fanmade project inspired mostly by the clone wars TV show and, of course, star wars universe. The project may take place between Ep2 & Ep5 or more, I'm not done yet with the story but bold storylines are set.
  
  The game takes its inspiration from 3D platformers like Rayman 2 & 3 and The Force Unleashed game series, and also offers space combats on various environments
  
  I make Star Wars-Redemption alone most of the time and on all fields (ranging from conceptart to animation, blueprints, vfx, ...etc, you name it) with the kind help (at some point & when possible) from :
  
  - Thomas Chaumel/Steven Ménager (Animation) ;
  
  - Fantin Gislette/Alexandre Cheremetieff/Thibaut Hunckler/Laurent Dessart (Blueprint/Game Design) ;
  
  - Anthony Daneluzzi (VFX & Technical Art consulting)
  
  NB : 'Square Phoenix" is our little team's name, not a studio =)

• CG Generalist/Environment Artist at Kenzan Technologies

  Geneva, Switzerland

  November 2013 - July 2015

  I started my work at Kenzan on promotional stuff for Omega ( swiss made watches ), on some diferent brands from them like "Orbis", "Dark side of the moon", and "Sochi 2014". Most of the videos I've made for their was displayed into an "holographic" viewer, and I handle most of the technical or artistic related stuff on it, except some VFX ( when it comes too technical for me, like krakatoa or realflow, which I don't know how to use for now ). Then I worked as an Environment Artist on "Teo et Leonie" ( a TV serie project under the Unreal Engine 4 ). Back home, and along these two years, I always liked to work to improve myself as I can't do the way I'd like at Kenzan.
