Work Experience

Réalisateur, Monteur et Chef de Projet Audiovisuel at Self-Employed / Freelance
January 1, 1994 - Present
I am a senior film editor and director with extensive experience in scripted television, documentary filmmaking, live performance capture, commercial content, and digital media. My work spans the entire post-production pipeline — from ingesting and organizing raw footage to final delivery for broadcast, cinema, and online platforms. As a TV series editor, I have edited more than 80 episodes, developing strong expertise in narrative structure, pacing, emotional rhythm, and character-driven storytelling. I work closely with directors and producers to shape performances, refine dramatic arcs, and ensure clarity and continuity across episodes and seasons. As a documentary director and editor, I have directed over 30 documentaries, managing projects from development to final cut. This includes research, writing, shooting supervision, interview direction, narrative construction in the edit room, and final post-production supervision. I have also edited more than 20 live dance and stage performance recordings, requiring precision in multi-camera editing, musical timing, and sensitivity to choreography and stage rhythm. These projects demand both technical accuracy and artistic interpretation. My expertise covers the full post-production workflow: Advanced editing (Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Avid Media Composer) Story development and structural editing Motion design and animated graphics Visual effects integration 3D elements and compositing Sound design, dialogue editing, and mix supervision (including 5.1 workflows) Color correction and color grading Broadcast and DCP delivery standards In addition, I have created numerous commercials, branded films, and startup content, translating complex ideas into clear, engaging visual narratives. I am experienced in working under tight deadlines while maintaining high creative standards. Beyond editing, I regularly collaborate with diverse creative teams, including deaf performers and technicians, and have contributed to projects involving sign language integration for broadcast. My background combines strong technical mastery with a deep understanding of visual storytelling, rhythm, and emotional impact. What defines my work is not the software — it is the ability to decide which image should follow another, and why.

    paper La microélectronique en quête de talents. Grenoble-Alpes

    For this project, I handled the entire creative and technical process from conception to final delivery. I directed the film, crafted the narrative structure, wrote the voice-over script, and supervised the storytelling approach to ensure clarity, authenticity, and engagement.
    I was responsible for:
    Direction
    Cinematography (camera operation)
    Lighting design
    Editing and post-production
    Voice-over writing and recording
    The film was designed to highlight STMicroelectronics’ technological excellence while humanizing the company’s search for new talent. Through a dynamic visual approach and precise editing rhythm, the objective was to create an inspiring and forward-looking narrative that reflects both innovation and opportunity.
    This project demonstrates my ability to manage a production end-to-end — from initial concept and scriptwriting through shooting, lighting, post-production, and final delivery — ensuring coherence between message, visual identity, and audience impact.
