Bio
Thomas J. Mikkelsen
I can truly recommend Eric Delacour. I have worked with him on several projects over the years, he is extremely talented and hard working. Eric is a really good team player, he also stays til the last shot is done and makes sure to deliver the best possible quality with in budget and time. He has been my go to guy for complicated CGI and will be for many years to come. Thomas J. Mikkelsen Film Director. www.vimeo.com/thomasmikkelsen

Eric Delacour is one of the most dependable, professional and talented visual artists I have ever worked with. All of the classic qualities of a great artist can be found here: a creative and insightful mind, a great eye for detail, mastery over light and shadow, as well as an unmatched technical understanding of process. Eric also possesses many skills which separate him from other artists I have worked with, including his ability to communicate, innovate, persevere, and remain consistent over long periods of time. Eric stayed close to me on all of our projects, constantly updating me and aligning with me as he worked. He confirmed his every process, stayed accountable to revisions, and checked final output with me before delivery. One of his secrets to success is that Eric solves problems before they occur by planning and researching all aspects of his approach before he begins a project. He never shies away from a challenge, and is clever in his approach to achieving a particular look or effect, often embracing and implementing new techniques along the way. Receiving revisions on shots is easy with Eric, as he has a great memory for comments, and is careful to check his work before his submission. Because he works so closely with production during the process, I cannot recall an instance of a missed note from Eric. He also possesses the latitude to work long hours while maintaining the highest level of professionalism. When it comes to punctuality, Eric is the tip of the spear. Without exception, and regardless of the situation, Eric delivers his work on time or ahead of schedule. In my experience, time and time again, Eric has delivered spots that exceeded everyone’s expectations. I would recommend Eric Delacour to anyone looking for a Director, CG/VFX Supervisor or rock star level artist.
