Stranger at the door-making of
Here is a making of an animation I did. I wanted to show how rough the animation starts and how I refine it as I go.Here I wanted to make an animation of a creature coming near the a door but seen from the little fish eye window.

Here is a trailer I did for a horror project I want to create. The amazing Jérémy Ben Ammar did the music and sound design .Some info on the project, this is a concept trailer for a feature film/ series that doestnt exist yet.

I am now working on writing and developing the story, ...
