I call this shot “The Birth of Vesta”. It appears in Scavengers Reign’s finale. Hands down the most insane shot I have ever animated. 😵💫

A clip from my favorite scene in episode 3 of SCAVENGERS REIGN "The Wall"
It was such a joy to revisit a classic moment from the original short
(Process breakdown below)
This THURSDAY we drop the final three episodes of SCAVENGERS REIGN! Huge thanks to everyone that's been watching and sharing the show so far, I hope you enjoy the finale!
Spent most of 2022 working on Scavengers Reign as an episodic director. It’s a very special show made by people who really give a shit. I hope you watch it when it’s out!
After their deep-space freighter is damaged, the stranded crew of the Demeter must fight to survive on a beautiful yet dangerous planet.

premieres October 19 on Max.
An episode I directed will be the official premiere of Scavengers Reign at Annecy Festival. I couldn’t be prouder. Can’t wait for everyone to see this.
I made a new website. 🌐
It was really fun and gratifying to learn web coding. Hopefully it shows, you tell me.
Thanks to

for the wonderful physics engine! 👌
When designing this flower and figuring out its reproduction process, I had a very specific art reference in mind that is very dear to me. Any guesses?

I was so lucky to work with an EXCELLENT team of traditional animators with my dear animation supervisor

You can tell by the tie-down animation below how much care went into crafting this
HBO Max has ordered a new adult animated sci-fi drama titled "SCAVENGERS REIGN." Created by Joe Bennett and Charles Huettner, and produced by Titmouse, the series follows the surviving crew of a damaged deep space freighter who are stranded on a beautiful yet unforgiving planet.

on Patreon. It's only one person running everything, ad-free for 20 years, simply driven by his passion for animation. That is admirable. I wish the animation world could, at least, return the favor.
My storyboards below. It was by far the most exciting sequence I had the opportunity to conceive.
You’ll notice the flower baby’s design wasn’t final at this stage
Tip: Adobe currently has a limited offer for the All-apps plan at $29.99.
If you're paying $52.99, try to cancel your current subscription and say that "it's too expensive" when asked. They'll offer to switch to that limited offer. Worked for me.
Can't believe we won the jury prize at the Annecy Festival last night!!! 🥳🏆
I truly had the best time directing this episode with a fantastic group of passionate and talented people.
Thank you for your trust

was contemplating the purchase of a new laptop but simply replaced the hard drive of my 2012 macbook pro with an ssd, reinstalled the os and cleaned it in & out. Now it's probably faster than a brand new overpriced one, and I only spent $80
Damn, this animated doc by Nicolas Pégon is sumptuous. Any person asking "why is this not live action?" has zero appreciation for art. So much delicacy and subtlety, I would frame any frame of this film.
I convinced everyone from my collective to make a new STZAP episode. I took a while but I'm super happy happy to say it's finally here! It also turned out to be the longest of the series📏

Welcome to "Réalistes" french publisher company founded by Ugo Bienvenu (former Gobelins student).
Have a 1st look at their comic-books (by Jonathan Djob Nkondo, Nicolas Pegon and more).
And watch the beautiful animated trailer they made for the launch.

Being self-taught is admirable but I would argue that schools are still extremely valuable, for so many reasons. They simply need to be more accessible/affordable and aware of the current state of whichever field they’re teaching. I feel like this is self-evident, and yet...
Nuts. Love artists like

who makes you forget the hardships of animation making. Just feels like an improvised dance performance. Pure madness!!
