What is an Image Designer?

What is an Artisan de l’IMAGE ?

For over 20 years, École Georges Méliès has been training true image designers, capable of understanding the whole image production chain (film, video game, etc.), irrespective of the technique employed (live action, stop motion, 2D animation, 3D animation, video game, etc.).

ÉCOLE Georges Méliès, MORE THAN ‘JUST’ A SCHOOL

École Georges Méliès is open at all times of the day and night. All necessary professional equipment is therefore available to the student, who may use it freely whenever he wishes; there is no need to spend your own individual money on costly equipment, École Méliès takes charge of this for you! The focus is on the potential designer in each of our students, and they are free to make the most of the School in order to also develop personal projects.

The School was designed as a space for discussion and friendliness, and has landscaped terraces which enable students to meet in a space dedicated to meal times, relaxation, coffee breaks, etc.

École Méliès supports each of its students individually throughout their schooling but also offers follow-up and support post-schooling. Professional integration and project development form an integral part of the School’s educational plan. This is why being a student at École Méliès is not simply about taking courses and getting a degree. It’s about being part of a team, that of the Image Designers. It’s about committing to a human approach as much as a professional one, and therefore benefitting from the network of former students who enliven School life with many lectures, valuable information and helpful advice!
