HOBBIES.

Video Editing

I’ve always had stories in my head. Scenes I wanted to create, and aventures I wished to live. And the first media I turn to realize those visions has been video editing. A friend of mine introduced me to Adobe After Effect and for years it has been my primary tool (yeah, I know, I switched to Premiere* now).

*2022 update: actually, I’m editing on my phone now. I’ve been an early adopter of an app called Splice. It’s killer. See the “West coast 2019” video above? My biggest editing project ever. Entirely from my phone.

playlist making

SPOTIFY ACCOUNT

I love discovering new music. For several years now, I’ve been listening to Spotify’s Discover weekly and its Release radar almost every 52 weeks of the year. That’s approximately 5 hours of new music per week, which translates to 260 hours per year. All this listening while constantly looking for what playlist* those songs would fit best into. (Did anybody say “control freak”?)

*these amazing covers you see on the “THERMOS” playlists, are the work of a dear and very talented friend of mine : Beatrice Viguier.

NATURE

I could have called this one Mountains or Bouldering or Trekking idk. But I don’t practice any of it enough to be a true hobby of its own. But I love all of them. They allow me to escape, spend time with friends or family, and I just love the sight of Nature, especially mountains. Recently, my sister was selling her car, so I bought it to try and spend more time in the Pyrénées, which is the closest mountain chain from Bordeaux. I just can’t get enough.

Voice Acting

You could say I almost like creating characters as much as I love to embody them. Which is why I jump on every occasion I have to do so, like graduating projects of some fellow students or some of my own. Whether its in french or in english, I also love making jingles or radio/podcast vocal work.

Voiced the primary character for the whole run. Approximatively half an hour of recording made it to the final prototype.

Voiced the primary characters for the whole game. Approximatively ten minutes of recordings made it to the final prototype.

Streaming

TWITCH CHANNEL

I love doing stuff with people. Movies, concert, games... But since there isn’t always someone around, I sometimes broadcast some gaming moments live on Twitch. I don’t have an agenda though. I just do it when I feel like it or for some special occasions. Like when a bunch of my friends are gathered on my couch and I happen to have a horror game to play. Yeah, fun times.
