WHO WE ARE, WHAT WE DO
PEOPLE TEND TO THINK OF CREATIVITY AS A MYSTERIOUS SOLO ACT. HOWEVER, IN FILM-MAKING AND MANY OTHER KINDS OF COMPLEX DEVELOPMENT, CREATIVITY INVOLVES A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT DISCIPLINES WORKING EFFECTIVELY TOGETHER TO SOLVE A GREAT MANY PROBLEMS.” ED CATMULL.
WE CERTAINLY KNOW IT VERY WELL AT DELAPOST PARIS; IT’S THE MAIN REASON WHY WE CONSIDER OUR ATELIER AS A VIBRANT COMMUNITY OF TALENTED PEOPLE WORKING TOGETHER FOR THE BENEFIT OF AN INITIAL CONCEPT.
Delapost Paris is a director-driven full feature design, animation and VFX studio based in the middle of Paris. Natural team players, as a collective of directors we relish working with other directors, creative agencies and production companies, cultivating an intimate creative experience, converting their concept into moving images. These are made with extreme attention to detail and finish by the expert digital craftsmen in our atelier.
Our experience has led us to love being a midsized studio. Being small is a strength that keeps us more human and sensitive to our customers needs, providing a better, more personalized service. We believe that a balance between innovative creation, a proven technical pipeline and good client communication is the key to film-production excellence. It”s with that philosophy in mind that we have structured our company, giving special attention to each department.
Over time we have gathered, trained and grown our talented creative, technical and production team, which is our pride and our future.

OUR COLLECTIVE
THE EXPERTISE OF DELAPOST PARIS’S COLLECTIVE OF DIRECTORS IS IN CREATING VISUALS AND STORIES THAT ARE COMPLEX, CHALLENGING AND REQUIRE A CROSS-PLATFORM DIVERSITY OF SKILLS.
Years making films together gave birth to a perfect cross-generational / cross-media direction team, which developed an outstanding talent for bringing projects to life from start to finish. Their ability as team players allow our directors to work alone, in pairs or all together, depending on the project. Our directors are top artists, storytellers and hands-on craftsmen. Their skills include shooting live action, directing performance, casting, set and character design, 3D and 2D animation, editing and, bien sur, lots of post-production.
Our current team:
Dutch by origin, but French by culture, Frank has made his life in Paris. With 17 years experience as a director, he has made more than 250 commercials for some of the biggest brands around the world. Also a photographer, painter and music composer, Frank is a true multimedia artist. As one of the partners of Delapost Paris, but also as an experienced and respected artist, Frank is definitely the backbone of Delapost’s collective of directors.
When he is not painting this native New Yorker is one of the most renowned senior flame artists in Paris. After 10 years compositing and tone grading commercials Michael crossed the line, moving behind the camera. For the last 4 years he has been directing, making several commercials with Delapost Paris. His innate sense of composition and the way he’s able to handle live footage as if it was, well … painting … still astonishes us.
Starting his career as a post-producer, Sebastien’s love for design pushed him to take matters into his own hands. After Effects gave him the tools to reveal his talent as a motion designer and 2D animator. For many years as a senior VFX artist, Sebastien was regularly in charge of every step of a film’s production. Now as a director his sharpness and ability to sense the trend of the moment is one of our collective’s key assets.
Not so long ago Tobiasz left Poland to study cinema in the French capital. Since then he has directed and edited several short films, music videos and documentaries, before joining Delapost. His many years working in the fashion industry to finance his studies has given Tobiasz a specific savoir-faire and predilection for delicate moods and refined pictures which, in combination with his talent for storytelling, makes him one of the most promising new members of our collective.
Born and nurtured in Argentina, Federico used to spend his time as an illustrator, graphic and industrial designer, but his true love was creating and animating characters. Federico arrived in Europe in 2002, for a new career in filmmaking, focusing on animated film direction. A design and animation specialist, his ability to create universes and bring them to life has always impressed us. But it’s his quality as a creative team player and his steadiness as a partner and front man that we appreciate the most.
