I am Philippe Carron, a French director and motion designer born in 1966 in Maubeuge. Since 2001 I have based my work in Brussels, developing character-driven fiction across a mix of media and formats. I began as a painter, illustrator and stage designer for contemporary dance and fashion in Paris, then moved into special effects at Mikros Image in 1999. In 2006 I launched my directing career, shooting commercials, music videos, short films and animated features using every technique I can imagine—2D and 3D animation, stop motion, live action, papercut, rotoscopy, pixilation, animatronic and puppets—mixing them to fit the project’s needs. My work has taken me to Lisbon, Dubai, Tel Aviv, Budapest, Zagreb and Luxembourg, with most activity centered in Paris and Brussels.
