Fishman

Although we are now closer to January 2026 than January 2025, I wanted to share some renders from our short film "Fishman." This 27-seconds film was created as a New Year's Eve exercise at Ecole MOPA.

In the film, the morning after a lively New Year's Eve beach party, a fishman enjoys the tranquility of the sea.

I co-directed the project with Raphael Mazuet, Johanna Morin, Antoine Blanc, and Luca Arcidiacono. My main responsibilities were modeling and texturing the environment and props. I also contributed to the layout and scene assembly processes. I used Maya, Substance Painter, Photoshop, and Unreal Engine.

I also made the bubbles, bubble bursts, and fireworks VFX in Unreal.
As challenging an experience it has been, I truly enjoyed every moment of the project, discovering new depths of Unreal as the project went on
