Philippe Gaulier

Short Biography

Philippe Gaulier Visual Effects - Method StudiosI graduated in 1999 from the ESAG Penninghen in Paris (graphic design/Illustration/Art direction).Following that, I spent a few years concepting and texturing at In-Utero, a video games company in Paris, as well as Ubisoft Shanghai (China).Around 2002, it was time for me to explore new horizons, so I grabbed my umbrella, crossed the sea (didn’t take too long) and arrived in London where I started in TV, then moved onto films, joining a few art departments along the way. There I had the opportunity to work on numerous film productions, quite a few VFX facilities (MPC, Double Negative, Method Studios... etc) as well as some on set Art Departments directly for Marvel/Disney and Warner Brothers, to name a few. Some of the films I worked on include a few Harry Potter, The Dark Knight Rises, Fury Road, Jupiter Ascending, Doctor Strange...I am currently Senior Art Director at Method Studios Los Angeles where it has been raining a lot lately, and I still own an umbrella.
