About Etienne
Since I was little, it was always clear to me that I would focus on creating. The character of Rayman greatly influenced me during my childhood and it is on these bases that I launched into 3D animation at La Cité Collégiale (Ottawa) when I left high school, while having produced an infinity of comics before. After 2 years of studies and discoveries, I decided to embark on film studies at the Cégep de l'Outaouais (Gatineau), thus nourishing one of my related passions: video. After 2 new years of studies in the field, I went to Montreal, to the Centre NAD, to combine once and for all these two mediums: 3D animation and video. That's how, two DEC and a BAC later, I started Des Larmes de Métal project, a self-produced web series in live-action 3D animation. The film won more than 10 awards of cinema, animation and VFX in multiple film festivals across the globe. Today, I teach 3D animation at the college level.

The courses offered focus on learning Maya software (modeling, textures, rigging, 3D animation, visual effects simulation, 3D lighting, rendering, scene setup, etc.) and Nuke (compositing, rotopainting, rotoscoping, camera tracking, relighting, etc.). The courses also offer experimentation with a wide spectrum of software that affects different fields such as Houdini (visual effects simulations), Sculptris (digital sculpture, incidentally Zbrush), Fspy (creation of adapted camera), Photoshop (image editing), Premiere Pro (video editing), After Effects (compositing and motion design). Preparation: You will be asked to provide the 3D scene or an example of the work that will be discussed during the lesson at least one day before the date of the meeting. The lesson: We study the assignment/the scene/the project together. We see what we can improve, modify, or simply learn how this or that tool/function can lead to the expected result! Ask all the questions you need, that's what we're here for. Since I've directed a multiple times awarded 3D animated short film in live-action footage, as well as teaching 3D animation at the college level, I am in a good position to show you all the ropes of the job! The lessons are therefore optimized for students who are in the field, or those who are interested in it in a self-taught way, or who want to deepen their knowledge and techniques on the subject.

Etienne is passionate about animation!
He has a deep understanding of 3D animation software and always stays up-to-date with the latest trends and technologies in the field.
His experience and thorough knowledge of animation principles make him an excellent choice for anyone looking to learn online.
I recommend Etienne without reservation for any online teaching opportunity, as he is not only an expert in his field but also an educator who knows how to inspire and motivate his students.I've known Etienne since we've studied cinema in college 7 years ago. To this day, I've never seen someone so passionate about 3D and animation as him. He would spend most of his time refining his skills, learning new ones, and even in his off ties, his mind would wonder in the animation world.
He's someone who will be passionate at sharing his experience and knowledge, and will always adapt his ways to make sure you understand what he's trying to explain.
As an avid 3D producer, Etienne and I have had plenty upon plenty of discussion around the topic of animation. I've never been bored hearing about his ideas, experiences, projects and such. I've always found value in what Etienne brings to a topic at hand, especially in his field of expertise.
I recommend him as a teacher for the energy and passion he brings when sharing what he loves to others, and for his flexibility and open mind in the process of developing mindsets.I have known Etienne since 2008, and it has been an honour to witness his drawing and animation passion evolve into a career that he lives and breathes in.
From drawing in our agendas to now teaching 3D animation (and much more), I could not think of a person better suited than Etienne to be your new animation guide for the years to come. He has an abundance of experience, expertise and dedication to offer, topped with an out-of-this world sense of humour and kindness.
Thousand thank-you’s to you, Etienne, for being there and sharing your passion with the world.Etienne is a professional expert in compositing and 3D animation. Passionate by his work, he'll definitely be the best tutor you can find for any request. Patient and curious, he will know how to level up your 3D artist skills.
