Charles Boileau

François is both technically and artistically competent, a powerful combination that few CG supervisors truly have. He's also a great leader, always ready to help and answer any questions (with a smile!). Experts like François are hard to come by... I'd be happy to colaborate with him in the future!

Francois is courteous and professional. Knows his 3D inside out. It's always good to have a Wizard in your party.
