About Me
 
 
 
  I'm Benoit de Longlée,
a french CG artist working as freelance. I'm born the 20-08-1978 and live in Paris.
 
I have worked on various productions for many years and I have developped a very good knowledge of entire visual effects process, from shooting supervision to the completion of the project. My level of proficiency in techniques and technologies relating to CG rendering and compositing often led me to work closer with R&D, in order to assess the needs, implement new tools and improve the pipeline and workflow for other team members.
My abilities to relate well with people, to show initiatives and to work to deadline allow me to evolve professionally.
I'm opened to serious proposals.
