Hi guys, thanks for taking your time for this interview. Could you tell us more about yourselves and Capsule Studio?

You’re very welcome! My name is Mhamed Elmezoued. I work as Head of CG at Capsule Studio, a young animation studio based in Paris, France. We craft creative content such as game trailers, cinematics, and TV commercials.

The studio was founded two years ago by Stéphane Montel, Raoul Barbet and myself. We come from different backgrounds. Raoul has a lot of experience in the game industry, working for companies like Quantic Dream & Dontnod. He recently shipped the critically acclaimed title Life Is Strange, on which he was Game Director. Stéphane and I have been doing animation movies for a decade, first as CG Artists in various French studios and then as CG Supervisors. We’ve worked on numerous commercials and game trailers like VW Hedgehogs and Rayman Legends.

We are very passionate about our work. Our studio is small but very nimble. This gives us an edge in many ways - we bring a tailored approach to every project, pipeline development and in our choice of software tools.
