"Election day" teaser trailer for a short film I shot in 3 weeks over the course of 2 years between New York and Paris.

The opening quote is from Jacques Brel's translation of The Impossible Dream: "And the world will be better for this That one man scorned and covered with scars Still strove with his last ounce of courage To fight the unbeatable foe To reach the unreachable star" - Joe Darion, The Impossible...

What to do when an actor calls in sick less than an hour before you're supposed to hit record? While there is a Halloween pumpkin lying around? Smash it, but in slow motion. Here is the result: A film by Thibaut Oskian DoP (and feet) - Anthony Banse 1st AC (and hand) - Christopher Leroy...

Ok so I finally took the time to edit a brand new reel (the previous one was from early 2013). Here it is: These clips are from projects (mainly a few short movies, a bunch of TV and web commercials and one music video) I've directed over the years. The older ones tend to be shot on Canon...

Here is our latest production, shot mainly on Sony A7s + Atomos Assassin. The B camera was my good old Canon 5DmII and the 2 aerial shots were on DJI's Phantom. The whole thing is done guerrilla style, every single cent of the (micro)budget can be seen on screen.

Hi everyone. Here is a little short we did in a single shot. No budget, no crew, 2 hours of shooting (although the comedian had hours of work with a coach to prepare for the role). We got it at the 5th or 6th take. I had better managed the focus in other takes but that one was the killer take...

"Isn't it too geeky?" What if Game Of Thrones had been produced by a French network? This little short has been highly shared by people in the TV/cinema industry in France, I wonder if the problems we talk about are the same in other countries. Don't forget to turn the subtitles on on the...

Hello, Here is my showreel 2013. It includes clips from all kinds of videos I directed: commercials to shorts and web series, some of which had been presented here and got very constructive feedback. It's my very firt showreel so I'd be very glad to get some professional feedback.

https://vimeo.com/35086989 A memory of youth, an unspoken love... What's the movie about? Is the story made up by the camera? "Free Wheel..." is the first of four collaborative short movies co-written and co-directed by Martin Dillard, Thierry Garnier, Thomas Mansuy, Thibaut Oskian and Emile...

Here is a $150 home made dolly I did with my grand father. I had watched numerous DIY slider/dolly videos on the web and couldn't find what I wanted: I needed a dolly that could stay smooth on pretty much any ground. So we had to design a new one. It's based on the same idea as most DIY ones you...
