Benoit Leva is a French artist who studied in Paris as a designer, then, later on, was hired as an art director at a television channel in the French capital. His love for stop-motion began five years ago, when he felt that he needed to get away from the screen, and he didn’t want to spend entire days behind his desk. He began experimenting with paper shapes in his work, which he then replaced with other organic and natural basic elements. Today, he is working for several prestigious brands including Hermès, Prada, Perrier, Evian... which gives him ‘‘carte blanche’’ to create films. See Benoit's filmreel here.
Troublemakers was founded in 2008 and is an animation studio in Paris. They have produced numerous award-winning 2D and 3D animated campaigns for clients such as Van Cleef & Arpels, Orange, WWF, CCTV, and Amnesty International. They build projects in our workshop from the ground up with a specific focus on storytelling and sincerity. Their success in commercial arts has encouraged them to develop long-format work, and they're currently working on several animated series.
