What is an Artisan de l'image ?

What is an Artisan de l’image ?

For over 20 years, the Georges Méliès School has been training genuine Artisan de l’Image, capable of understanding the entire production chain of an image (film, video game, etc.), regardless of the technique used (live-action shooting, stop motion, 2D animation, 3D animation, video games, etc.).

Georges Méliès School, MORE THAN A “SIMPLE SCHOOL”

Georges Méliès School is openned at any time, nights and days. Thus, all the necessary professional equipment is available to the student who can use it freely whenever they wish; there’s no need to personally invest in expensive equipment, Georges Méliès School takes care of that for you! The focus is on the creative potential of each of our students, who are free to take advantage of the School to develop personal projects as well.

Designed as a space for exchange and conviviality, the School has equipped terraces that allow students to gather in a space dedicated to meals, relaxation, coffee breaks, and more.

Georges Méliès School supports each of its students individually during their schooling but also offers follow-up and support after graduation. Professional integration and project development are integral parts of the educational project of the School. That’s why being a student at Georges Méliès School is not just about attending classes and earning a degree; it’s about joining a team, that of the Image Craftsmen. It’s committing to a process that is as much human as it is professional, and thus benefiting from the network of alumni who enliven the school’s life with numerous conferences, rich teachings, and valuable advice!
