Freelance motion graphics artist, video mapping artist, film maker, and art director with over 25 years of experience in the industry, based in Normandy and in Paris.
I am Charlie Taillard, a highly experienced and versatile creative professional with a passion for creating dynamic and engaging visual content that supports companies in their communication strategy and content creation. My services include motion graphics design, video mapping, film making, and art direction, and I am available for projects both remotely and in the Ile-de-France region.
In my work as a motion graphics artist, I specialize in creating short, creative, and engaging animated films for agencies, studios, and advertisers. My animations communicate ideas, tell stories, and make sense, whether in the form of “flat design” vector animations for websites or applications, or in more traditional formats such as 4lm credits, series, or documentaries. I am self-taught and constantly strive to improve my skills through training in new techniques.
My work is distinguished by its attention to detail, strong sense of visual style, and dedication to storytelling. I have a diverse portfolio that includes projects in film and television, corporate videos, live events, and experiential installations. I am proficient in a range of industry- standard software such as After Effects, Premiere, Photoshop, VDMX and MadMapper, and I have a set of professional-grade cameras and equipment including a Sony FS5 and a Blackmagic Design BMPCC 4k to ensure high-quality footage for any project.
As a seasoned professional, I possess a unique combination of technical expertise and creative talents. My background as a graphic designer and art director allows me to bring a unique perspective to my work, and I am well-versed in the principles of branding, print design, and digital media. I take great pride in my ability to bring a positive and collaborative approach to my work, and I strive to foster an environment of mutual trust, open communication, and ongoing learning with my clients. I am particularly passionate about working with entrepreneurs and startups, and I find great satisfaction in helping these organizations to grow and flourish through my contributions. I am dedicated to providing my clients with the highest level of service, and I strive to consistently deliver exceptional results that exceed their expectations.

With experience using software such as ChatGPT and MidJourney, I am able to bring my projects to life and create impactful and high-quality motion graphics and video content that meets the needs of my clients. My skill in using AI tools is an asset that enhances my traditional skills and expertise in the field. Obtain additional details on this webpage.

LATEST PROJECTS:
It is a real pleasure to work with Charlie. We appreciated his availability, his listening and his patience, which are strong added values to his high artistic qualities.
Charlie was able to use all his creativity and experience for our project. The result is absolutely fantastic. Website, digital communication media, brochures, posters, videos. He knew how to respond to each of our challenges with professionalism.
Thanks to him, we are now ready to make this ambitious project one of the most magical events of 2023.
Charlie Taillard is one of the most creative and original designers I have ever worked with. His light touch enhances the message and I am delighted with everything he has done for me.
I have had Charlie look after my videography needs at our Global Entrepreneur Summit events in London for the past few years and have always found his ability to capture the moments in a very high quality and professional manner. His attention to detail not only from briefing, also in his recording and delivery of the brief have been outstanding. In addition our live-streaming events required vision switching one the fly and that too was handled with amazing finesse. Knowing Charlie had digital skills I contracted him make a giant graphic digital video wall presentation for the lobby of the event space at the Hilton on the park London and it was main feature that all our participants noticed and commented on when attending the lobby. I would recommend Charlie and his team to any live event you are running.
Charlie’s work on the 12.12.12 project was literally transformational.
We went from a mediocre website to a beautifully designed one which was hugely successful in driving ticket sales, Charlie also created an accompanying promotional video plus the work he did to create the show programme, event banners and all the moving graphics for the entire 5 hour show was literally superb. I can honestly say that his involvement was absolutely key to the event’s success. Not only is he a creative genius he is incredibly proactive and an absolute delight to work with. Charlie is every entrepreneur’s dream right hand creative man!
Charlie is a rare combination of super-creative with an artist's eye for colour and balance PLUS being a digital natural with a superb ability to work with almost any software or system. He's a great spirit as well and the whole team benefits in many other ways from having him around.
