Julien Perron — Paris, France

“I guess the main mistake is to think that there is only one solution. It’s a language with some rules, but the combination of shots is infinite. That’s why it’s so creative. The other main trap would be to not be too curious and not look around other cultures and arts. That’s why I try to push a live-action cinematographic style in my animation work, mostly inspired by movies and photography and not only animation.”

A graduate of the Ecole des Gobelins in Paris, Julien Perron has worked as a story artist, 2D animator, character designer and graphic-novel author. He has also been involved with movies such as Ernest And Célestine and other animated features, short movies, series and commercials.
