Olivier Fontaine
@olivierfontaine
I build concept design skills through industry-led teaching, visual innovation, and 3D production experience.
What I'm looking for
I founded TRIPLE AAA School, where I prepare students for real-world concept design challenges through industry-driven curriculum, expert instruction, and mentorship.
Since 2020, I’ve built a training organization in Réunion Island that is QUALIOPI certified and committed to adaptive, respectful learning environments, including support for learners with disabilities and autism-spectrum experience.
My production background includes 3D modeling and roto work at Framestore, props modeling for Arrival and La Chasse-Galerie: La Légende at Oblique FX, and modeling and concept-art work at Mokko Studio and FAKE Digital Entertainment.
I’ve also taught 3D hard-surface modeling, Adobe tools, Apple video editing, and Photoshop, drawing on experience across Canada, France, and Réunion Island.
