Arthur & the Minimoys to kick-start his career

julien was “introduced” to the Buf Compagnie by “Mon Ami Charly” (his graduation film, which was widely distributed in France and abroad), and began his career as an animator on Luc Besson‘s “Arthur & the Minimoys” as soon as he graduated from ESMA in 2007.

A graduate of the Professional 3D Animation Film Cycle, he then chose to work his tricks in the South of France, where he had missed so much in Paris.

Rapid rise to prominence

Technical Director ofIn Efecto, in the Hérault region, for three years, Julien designed and supervised the production of advertising and institutional films for major brands such as Michelin, M6 and Samsung.

Founder of the Digital Trickers studio in Montpellier, he worked for a few years to reconcile economic demands with his aspirations to produce and direct his own short films.

Today Julien Duval passes on his knowledge and experience to future 3D animators, thanks to his role as a teacher atESMA.
