About
Hello! I’m Matthieu Poirey, a Senior Animator and Animation Supervisor with a passion for cinematic realism, creature performance, and emotional storytelling. I lead creative teams across episodic and feature productions, collaborating closely with VFX supervisors, directors, and rigging teams to deliver high-quality, believable characters and scenes. I thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy shaping production plans, reviews, and delivery under tight schedules.
I love exploring real-time workflows and pushing for consistent, immersive visuals, from concept through final shots. Based in Barcelona, I’ve worked with global studios on projects like The Lion King, Shadow and Bone, and various fantasy epics, bringing characters to life with a combination of strong technical craft and storytelling sensibility.
