Heading into this industry was something Daphné Chabrier knew she wanted, having always loved animation and desired to create art and memories in her work. Chabrier’s first role was at the Parisian Studio Hari, which she entered shortly after completing her diploma at École Georges Méliès. From this experience, she then joined Illumination where she worked on several Minions shorts and feature films including The Grinch. It was Chabrier’s move to Scotland that ultimately led to her position today, as Senior Previs / Layout Artist at Axis Studios. In her role she turns 2D animatics into 3D animatics, creating sequences of shots which tell a narrative through timing actions, camera, and frame composition so that animation can then begin. Her skills have been integral to Realtime projects such as Sackboy: A Big Adventure, cinematic trailers including Magic the Gathering: Zendikar Rising, and the studio’s first theatrically released feature film, Scrooge: A Christmas Carol.
